The problem (sending garbage to the list by not checking the text only box
in the EnRoute send slip) gets periodic discussion on the list (along with
sending accidental MIME attachments by a similar setting problem - the other
source of text garbage which you can see from time to time).
If the text only box is not ticked, the message includes some form of
attachment which appears on my Newton as text garbage (similar to the MIM
attachment). I find the EnRoute problem to be more of a pain than MIME
attachments because the EnRoute attachment results in Outlook Express 4.5
(on my Mac, at any rate) terminating the digest at that point and adding a
short garbage text message as an attachment in its place. I download my mail
to my Newton as well as to the Mac so I can read the balance of these
digests when this happens.
The problem has been reported by others in the past but I am not sure
whether list discussion has identified the source of the problem (so I am
copying this to the list). I have identified it from my own error (ie
accidentally sending email without selecting text only) and from observing
the posts which cause the problem. They are all from EnRoute.
By all means send me a test message if you like. My original message was
sent to you from my Newton using EnRoute (with text only checked).
I hope your daughter enjoys her time in New Zealand. I would be happy to
answer any questions.
