November 3, 1999 Dear SW List Members... I am sorry to say I have not solved the issues with hotmail. The problem is sporadic and complicated and I may never solve it. Therefore it is imperative that all hotmail account users read the messages in the SignWriting List Archive everyday: SignWriting List Archive https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l/ OR.. Leave hotmail and get another account with a private internet service provider. Hotmail is free, after all, and you cannot expect perfect service. Paying for service sometimes does solve problems, especially in this case... A good friend just sent me this information, which is quite informative...it also shows the problems with hotmail: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hotmail Problems: Sometimes when I post FROM my hotmail account with an attachment to my work address it comes over blank. The same has been true with AOL email that is either forwarded or has attachments. There is something, evidently, in these proprietary systems that allows sending e-mail which would be analogous to a blank cover sheet with enclosures. The problem is that when the other system gets it, since the cover sheet is blank, the enclosures are lost. I am describing this badly and I am not clear on it but you are not the only one. Guess that is really my point. So now when I need to send something with an attachment I use the email account from my internet service provider or, if it is coming from Hotmail, I reply to a message with the attachment instead of composing a whole new message. If I am forwarding, the text from hotmail sometimes makes itself an attachment to a blank mail message and when I get it, it is empty. What I do instead to forward is copy the text to my clipboard, paste it into a newly composed message, and send that. Of course that won't work with .gif files. You just got to fiddle around with it. There are so many different combinations of software and platforms and all that it may be that you have found a unique problem. Who can say? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Val ;-) _____________________________________________________________ Valerie Sutton The SignWritingSite-SignWriting Lessons Online: https://www.SignWriting.org The SignBankSite-SignWriting Dictionaries Online: https://www.SignBank.org The SignWriting List-To Post A Message: The SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l DAC-Deaf Action Committee for SignWriting-an educational nonprofit organization Center For Sutton Movement Writing Inc-PO Box 517-La Jolla-CA-92038-0517-USA | ||||||||
