Listserv Participation & Help

....
Do's and Don'ts of Black Agenda Listserv CyberColonies PARTICIPATION:
  1. NEVER send files or attachments to a discussion list, especially Black Agenda Listserv CyberColonies.  Files and attachments should only be sent to people you have made prior arrangements with to send and/or receive files/attachments.  Even then, you should only save those files/attachments to a floppy disk or a zip disk designated explicitly for downloads and files/attachments.
      
  2. Avoid the viruses and worms by not sending files, attachments and HTML to our forum.  Even your best on-line friends can infect your system.  Use antiviral scanning software on the floppy disk or zip disk BEFORE opening the file.  Only send e-mail in standard ASCII and not use HTML code embedding.
     
  3. If you want your posting read by the broadest number of people, please refrain from sending ANY e-mail to a Black Agenda Listserv CyberColonies forum using HTML code embedding.   The MAJORITY of people using e-mail simply can not read HTML embedded code.
     
    When one configures their Web browser (or e-mail client) to send HTML code, the message is no longer conforming to the standard/international e-mail protocols. This immediately reduces the number of places that will accept your message (e.g. gateways, Newsgroups and BBS) and people who will read and reply to their message.  Most people (especially me) will usually delete it before attempting to wade through the visible codes.
     
    E-mail is a TEXT based medium/format.  HTML formatted messages take up unnecessary archive disk space and in most all cases can not be read by FTP, Gopher and Lynx readers.
     
  4. We are communicating on an international basis, please set your browser to plain ASCII text.  This can be found under the options menu in both Netscape and Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
     
  5. If your mail program supports fancy formatting (bold, italic and so on) in the mail messages it generates, DO NOT use those features in the Black Agenda Listserv CyberColonies forum.  
     
    In general, any time you send a fancy formatted message, make sure that the recipient(s) mail program can display such messages.  At this time, most Internet mail programs, especially the international programs, do not support anything other than PLAIN TEXT in messages, although this will change over time (three (3) years).
