[Dixielandjazz] attachments et al.

[Jerry Gordon]

I don't know how this looks to the rest of you, but ALL of Dan Spink's
messages have a teal-green background color.

And all the mysterious attachments are labelled [text-plain], but they're
empty, except for the DJML footer  that seem to get added automatically
(by islandnet?)

FWIW, I'm running Windows 2000.

Thanks for your help, Tony. As an added thought or two, I found that AOL
8.0 does not work that way. The only way I could come close to looking
like Plain Text was to go to AOL Preferences, Text, then make Arial 10
pt. NOT bold, my default font. For what it's worth, I have at least three
still unanswered questions about submitting to the list as follows:
Q1. I get two versions: one in plain B&W, the other in a teel green
background color.
Why two different ones?
Q2. Whenever I've tried to submit a message to the DJML directly, it
comes back unreadable, or not usable in some way. Often, this is when I
get the message I am not using plain text, (even though I am using Arial
10 pt, non bold font), but there are other problems indicated as well.
The only way I can jump in, I've found, is to copy a portion of an
existing message, including the subject and heading information, then hit
"reply" and add my thoughts. That's how I did this. Why can't I submit
directly?
Q3. My listing of subjects always shows numbered list of subjects up
front, with the sender, much like a table of contents. That's great. But
when I scroll through I get multiple repetitions in different type faces,
sometimes with multiple "=" signs at every sentence, sometimes with type
in reverse. So am I doing something wrong?

None of the above should indicate an unhappy list member. I look forward
to reading (and sometimes joining in) every day. It's a new life
experience to share the world of performing Dixie and traditional jazz
professionals and I love it. Keep it coming any way you can!
