Hey Greg....I really DO appreciate what you are doing here....and I hope the
members of this group do also....since this is an Office group and most of us
are therefore using Outlook, it's important that we understand how to get rid
of those = signs at the end of our lines (especially when they screw up links
we are trying to post)
but, being the dummie I am with this stuff, I'm still a bit confused....if I
change the reg value to 3, are you saying then that I DON'T have to check that
uuencode box? (that seems to be a total PITA since I really DO need to receive
attachments in other mails)
The problem I'm having is you've now turned on and off so many things, I'm
confused as to what steps I do have to take and what steps I don't...LOL
Anyway...please feel free to send all the test messages you want to this group
until you are sure you've figured out the solution....then, can you do me a
favor? Once you've figured it all out, can you send STEP-BY-STEP instructions
for the members on exactly what we need to do to fix this? I will then post
these instructions on my website so new members with this problem can be
directed there in the future so we don't have to have this discussion on this
list every couple months (as we have for the past two years)...is that too much
of an inconvenience for you? I will certainly credit you and mousetrax at my
site for all this work...it is VERY much appreciated, as this has been an
ongoing problem with this group ever since we moved to freelists
Also...for any comcast users, please know that Greg is also helping me offlist
to find out why some of us cannot post to freelists....freelists blames this on
Comcast and Comcast blames it on freelists, so I have been getting the
runaround here....however, Greg pointed out to me that there's a "middle man"
server involved here, called siteprotect.com (in my case anyway) and that seems
to be my problem....so if anyone is having a problem sending mail to this
group, you may want to see if there are any other servers mentioned in the
header you receive from the mailer daemon....Greg, I've written to Hostway (my
domain) and asked them to check into siteprotect for me, since siteprotect is
something Hostway uses (some anti-spam thing maybe?)....I 'm hoping siteprotect
IS the problem and this can be fixed so I can post to this group from my normal
email addy again
And, any of you who find this uuencode thread to be off topic and not relevant
to you, please just delete the messages and please understand that we are doing
this to try to make this list work better for all of us
Thanks Greg!!!

Okay, here's the poop! BTW, if this is too much, let me assure that it's
almost over aside from the discussion.
