Those of you who migrated from the healeys list will remember the thread about
putting a Healey manual on CD-ROM. Well Mini Mania just released a workshop
manual for the Mini on some form of electronic media. Their add says "Disk"
but it most likely is a CD. The price is $29.95. Maybe they will do the
Spridgets next. We can always hope. When the Mini Mania owner gets back from
the U.K. I will ask if there are plans for the Spridgets. I will pass on
anything that I find out.
Have you noticed that we are seeing a lot of dupe messages on the list. I
think the problem is that when people respond to a message they are doing a
"Reply To All". This sends a message to the originator and to the list. The
result is that the originator gets a copy from the list and a copy from
everyone that responds. I am as guilty as anyone else but will try to be more
careful in the future. We need to try to reply to only the list or the
originator not both. This is not as easy as it should be with most systems.
With mine, I have to select "Reply To All" and then modify the "To" line when
I want it to go to the general list or delete the "To" line entirely and then
select Spridgets from my address book. Sometimes I forget. Occasionally I even
send mail to myself.
