Owch! Sorry to hear about your broken jaw. Hope you heal soon.
I think it is possible to attach files to the messages in this listserv,
but a concern arises. We have 140-odd participants subscribing to this
newsgroup. I'm not sure all these participants would appreciate having to
receive file attachments unannounced. I learned that little lesson during
my days as a FidoNet subscriber on a BBS.
I suggest you ask people first if they want a copy of your software sent to
their mailbox, and then only do so for those who say yes. This way, we are
all spared the time and inconvience(sp?) of dealing with extra file

Wot eye wood h-eight moast is sumwun to be piquey abbout mi spellingue!
I thought these mailing were about Euphoria, and although it's essential to
spell Euphoria reserved words correctly, as I know only too well, does it
matter about about other spelling inconsistencies as long as we can
understand the meaning?
Apologies if I am intruding in a 'private' needle match.
Up with Euphoria!
Down with English as it should be wrote!

he asked (sp?) which means he doesn't know if it's spelled correctly and
wishes correction if needed. I abliged him, just as if he asked a real
Euphoria question...=)

When's the Crash Course in Game Design going to resume? :}
(A valid Euphoria-based question for those devoted to keeping to the

I'm beating a dead horse here, I assume. But since I can't see
attachments to forum messages in Web only access, I switched to digest .
But the digest puts the attachments out in unreadable garbage -- or in a
format my mail can not understand.
I really want to be able to get attachments when someone includes one in
their message! I can't get all the e-mails because our ISP has a limit
on how many incoming e-mails you can have.
Can't there be a way to see attachments in Web only access? This is
definitely a draw back. Other than this issue, I am satisfied with
Topica.

How about setting up a web based e-mail account (like hotmail or yahoo) and
subscribing that to the list, then whenever you want to retrieve an
attachment log onto that account and download it.

Attachments never appear on the Web interface.
You can only receive them via e-mail.
Even via e-mail, we were having trouble with attachments,
but in the past few days a few went through ok.
I'm not sure what the "deal" is, but hopefully they will
mostly work from now on.
