[jsfg_cinti] A word about attachments and the JSFG Mailing List

All,

I encourage everyone to keep forwarding job postings, networking event 
info, and job fair announcements to this mailing list. That said, please 
be aware that virtually everything that is not plain text will be 
removed before the message is distributed. This is done to protect us 
all from malicious software that is often hidden in e-mail messages.

Pictures are deleted. Word documents and PDF files seldom survive the 
trip. Web pages, HTML e-mails, and other formatted messages - e.g., 
those with bold or italic type, buttons to click, etc. - are often 
translated into gibberish. It is best to not forward such things to the 
ListServ. Use a workaround instead.

Here is one trick that usually works.

First, highlight the text you wish to share and copy it to the 
clipboard. You can do this with most documents and web pages.

Then, create a new e-mail message. On the main menu, click on "Edit" and 
select "Paste Without Formatting". If you can read the result, chances 
are good that the rest of us will be able to. If not, a few deletions 
may be enough to clean it up (note: web pages may need a LOT of clean up).

Finally, add your comments at the top and send it to 
jsfg_cinti@xxxxxxxxxxxxx .

I hope this helps. If you have your own tips or suggestions, please feel 
free to share.

Thanks!

David Barnes
