And in the past I offered to post on the web too, without requiring FTP....but I get overwhelmed and then everyone is left waiting for me to find the time! So that is not a perfect system :-))) And of course I know that Juno will not change and I am not asking them to! But we could ask from all members of the SW List to accept that others on the SW List would like to see some SW inside their email messages, and that it is simply "a part of being a part of the SW List", that some people will send attachments. That way the members of Juno will at least understand what is happening, and if they cannot switch to a new ISP, then such is life! But meanwhile, Juno is holding SW back, because I think having SW inside our email messages would be good for people - they would really learn SignWriting from it - and the List has more people who are NOT on Juno than ON Juno - so perhaps that is only fair? By the way, even if we go to attachments, the only attachments that people can read "inside their email messages" will be .GIF or .JPEG files. The files typed with the SignWriter Computer Program can also be attached, but only those people who use SignWriter will be able to open them. Even so, it will vastly change people's understanding of SW symbols - it can almost become like free lessons online - so I vote for putting "lessons on email" as the priority over Juno.... How do all of you feel about this?
