Apparently there is a message size limit of 5K to the list. Over that
and approval is needed to post to this list. In order to avoid this,
there are a few things you can do.
Don't post in HTML format (never a good idea anyway), instead use plain
text formatting. This is usually an option in whatever email program you
are using. HTML may look nice but the backgrounds, fancy fonts, etc. use
bandwith. An HTML formatted message will be many times the size of a
plain text message. Many people still use dial up connections to the
internet and HTML messages can be painful for them. This list will strip
off the HTML formatting but message sizes may still be bigger than if
formatted originally in plain text.
If you are replying to a message on the list snip off the extraneous
quoted text. In a long thread, quoted text can add up to over 5K. A few
sentences from the previous posts are usually sufficient for message
clarity.
The list will strip off any attachments such as pictures or PDFs. If you
would like to post pictures, many services are available online to
enable sharing at no charge or you can use your FTP directory if your
ISP provides you with one (Sonic.net for one...best ISP in the
universe). Photos can also be submitted to Tcherek for inclusion on our
website a;though you should probably check with her before sending
(tkamstra@sonic.net).
Enjoy tomorrows Marin ride and have a great 4th for those of you not
attending. See you on the 14th!
