[arachne] Re: Base64 Test (was: coollist gone, freelists available....)

This is very curious, and hello all I'am back from my vacation, I had
just ONE attachment to Joe's test message... no winmail.dat or anything
like that just a readable HTML text.

I include the original message as received here as a3387d75.cnm

Regards, Bastiaan

Title: [arachne] Re: coollist gone, freelists available....
Hi all,
 
If you can't read this, sorry, it's the old base64 coding problem again ...
 
If you can, then you may be interested to know that Gregy has had
a little (much neglected;-) Arachne list running for over 5 years at :
 
 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arackne/
 
And, for those not yet familiar with Yahoo Groups (formerly eGroups),
yes, you can join the list and participate in discussions purely via e-mail,
just like any other list. In other words, you don't need to bother with a
Yahoo-ID and/or becoming a fully-fledged group member. (See the
middle of the page for the appropriate e-mail addresses.)
 
Joe.

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

     You have highlighted an important issue... that list servers can be
     unreliable, and we could lose "Arachne enthusiasts" because of that.

     I think back a year or so, to one of the other Arachne lists, under Michael
     Polak, which finally died, but which we had difficulty un-subscribing from.

     Now, Arachne at coollist.com has died.

     God help us is      freelists.org      disappears.

     I am not a fan of making things complex.

     But, to preserve and protect our Arachne community is it wise to set up
     another Arachne list server, in a different domain, just so that we do not
     lose this exceptionally valuable Arachne group of participants.

     Would love to hear your thoughts, and maybe also those of L.D.Best, and
     the others in this group.
