AOL users especially take note. Many thanks, Debbie "To date the NIFL-HEALTH list has not had any messages rejected due to content. Messages stopped by the filter because of content are placed in the rejected message archive and silently dropped from list submissions. Messages that are rejected because they have attachments are dropped from list submissions as well but submitters of such messages are sent a message rejection notice. The problem Mr. Hochhauser is experiencing is due to him attempting to post from AOL's embedded email client. AOL's embedded email client sends all messages in HTML/MIME format which sends the message body as an attachment...hence the rejection. Further AOL's embedded email client does not have the capability to send plain text messages. AOL users must use AOL's web based email tool to send messages to the lists. Their web based tool sends plain text messages. I prepared a standard message sometime ago describing the problem that AOL users experience and what they need to do to resolve the issue (use the web based interface). Sometime ago I posted this message to the moderators list so all would know but we have a few new moderators so it's probably time to post it again..." NIFL-Health listers may be surprised to hear that some messages to NIFL lists are now being filtered for content, although this has not happened to the Health List. This is because of a recent directive that the list(s) in question were being used to lobby, and that this is against the law. No one is comfortable with judgement calls being made as to content, and the NIFL director has sought clarification of what's happening but has not yet been given an answer. If anyone has any further questions about this please contact me off-list. Many thanks, Debbie Deborah W.
