The advertisement is even worse than yahoo groups!! Let's move again to yahoogroups! or even better groups.or.id (free) an mailing list server like yahoogroups with no ads, flexible options (much more than yahoo's), add member without restriction (can be as many as you want), etc but no attachments allowed.

I don't like receiving ads that encourage smoking. Filtering the ads out is probably not that hard. If you encounter a line with 59 equal-characters (perhaps be more flexible: at least 50 times '='), just find the next line like that. If there are only a few lines in between (< 10 lines?), delete them (and the 2 ===-lines). > > =========================================================== > Menthol Smokers Only!

Anyway, it would probably be a violation of my agreement with Topica to remove them. I will at least try to remove ads from quoted material in replies. > Let's move again to yahoogroups!

Sorry, but it doesn't look like a very English-friendly site. EUforum generates several thousand e-mails per day. There aren't many ISPs that are comfortable with that, unless you pay big bucks or allow them to insert ads. We could easily set up a "message board" written in CGI/Euphoria. There would be no e-mail involved, but it would be totally under our control, with no ads anywhere, and messages would appear immediately without delay. They would be recorded in the message archive as usual. The messages could still be pre-scanned by ListFilter to weed out spammers and other trouble makers. If necessary we could require logging in with a password (kept in a cookie for convenience like with the User Contribution system.) The downside is you wouldn't get the list delivered to your convenient e-mail client, and people might not bother to visit the RDS site very often to check for new messages.

(Will we still be able to post via email? I expect we could...) well, there is one other con: development, maintenance, updates... :)

We don't need attachments if we post source code. if anyone needs to send an attached file then it can be in that 64 code stuff that is still text. Bernie

I delete attachments that are not readable as text, saves getting viruses and trojans. I vote against topica again, and against web-based bulletin boards. The web boards take forever to keep up with the threads, make for huge pages, and someone will eventually hack the board (see Karl's web board). Kat

It is pretty universally hated, either they cannot see this or they are incredibly desperate for money. It would not surprise me if this invites (not by my hand) a succession of ddos attacks in protest. There is a strong possibility in my mind that Topica may not be around by summer, and we should definitely make plans for that event. Read the signs, folks. Pete PS That dutch crowd left alt.lang.euphoria long ago. I just posted and it still seems to work for me.

Yes, I've used sendmail or equivalent in several programs now. Sending a message is easy. Sending several thousand messages/day makes ISP's very nervous, especially in these days of SPAM black-lists.

Initially I'll work on it, then I'll turn it over to Junko. Maybe we can have modules that others can help us with.

I noticed there are people that prefer message boards, because the messages are sorted in categories, and there are people that prefer mailing lists, because of the speed and the fact that e-mailing is a lot easier than logging in, going to the appropriate thread and posting. What if we could make a mailing list that sorts the messages in categories? Each category has an e-mail address, and the filter-capabilities of YOUR e-mail client can deal with incoming mails: if there are categories you're not interested in, you make a filter that deletes messages that come from the e-mail address of those categories. The categories you are interested in can also be filtered: each category has a folder and you make filters to move messages to the appropriate folder. Example: send message -> win32 at eumailing.com -> ... -> client filter -> Win32 folder -- Tommy Carlier tommy online: http://users.pandora.be/tommycarlier
