Subject: Pietenpol-List: New List MIME/HTML/Enclosure Filter Implemented...Dear Listers,With the pervasiveness of email applications using HTML (web formatting)and MIME encoding such as AOL 6.0, Netscape, Eudora and others it wasclear that I needed to come up with an improved method for limiting howmessages posted to the various Lists was handled.As of today, November 13 2000 you should be able to configure your emailprogram any way you like - with or without special formatting - and your message will still be accepted my the Matronics system. Also, if youinclude any sort of enclosure data, your message will also still be accepted instead of bounced back.But wait, it gets even better! Everything except for the plain textwill be automatically stripped from the incoming post including anyHTML, MIME, and/or enclosure data prior to redistribution. This should serve to both ease the configuration burden on the many users, and toincrease the readability of both the posted messages and the archives.I had a few 'bugs' with the filter on Sunday and Monday morning, so ifyou received a few messages that seemed "odd", than this was probablywhy.Best regards,Matt DralleMatronics Email List Admin.-- Matt G.
