Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Hi Brian,
I am glad to hear that you got
some good help from VCN and got Arachne
connected. Now make sure you keep several
copies of your arachne.cfg so you can repair
any damage that might happen in the future.
Unfortunately, the text you send to the list is
definitely not really what your arachne.cfg
looks like. There are too many chopped
off words in it. I don't know what is happeneing
to cause this but no one else is having any
problems and I've never seen this problem
on the list in years of being on this list. Something
is happening at your end to mess up the
file that you are appending to your email.
I don't have the slightest idea what. Sorry,
I can offer no suggestions.
Again congratulations on your connection!
About zip files....there is nothing wrong with zip
files....the list moderator just doesn't like them
bounced into his mailbox....some of the list
members' ISP's refuse attachments and send
them back to the list moderator so that his
mailbox gets jammed. Then they become
the moderator's problem and he doesn't enjoy
the problem.....especially since he is graciously
donating his time to moderate this list. I was
wrong when I told you that you could send small
attachments. I was not aware of the consequences
when I told you that small attachments were OK.
By the way, even the zip that you sent to the list
was not any good. PKZip could not unzip it
Eric
