Mailers

Hi!

Our (not so) Humble Pseudo-Moderator proclaimed:

Okay, then, to what?  I have the latest version of Eudora, which doesn't
seem to be on the list of Preferred Mailers for this list because I'm
having a hell of a time deciphering the Digests since this "fix".
Unfortunately, I don't know what that list of Preferred Mailers is, because
no one has seen fit to enlighten the rest of us.

It would have been nice if we'd been given some warning as to the upcoming
changes, so those of us who suffer from the misfortune of using an
otherwise perfectly good, but apparently Non-Preferred Mailer could have
had time to figure out what to do to make the Digests readable.

(Sorry for the tone of this, but techno-elitism really gets my goat.)
