MIME attachments (was: Praise and Worship Lead sheets) try #2

[Which ... this is the 2nd time I'm attempting this to be 
 delivered in plain-text format since my e-mail client 
 decided to keep the *format* (which was MIME encoding)
 of the reply the same as how it arrived.... r-r-r-r-r-r.

 As a group... MIME isn't a good thing.  Personally, between
 us individual members ... it's probably o.k. if you know 
 if the *other* has compatible software...........  Bro Tyler]

>Bro Turner I did not receive any message with this e-mail

... because she doesn't have a MIME compliant e-mail reader
there at work.  She has what she is able to use at here place
of employment.

Officially, the Higher-Fire Netiquette document says this 
about MIME attachments....(which we've gotten away from 
but we really need to clamp down on this and not allow any
e-mail attachments ... just plain text that everybody
can read) ...

  --------------------------------------------------------
  Does the post you're sending have "attachments"?

  You may or may not realize it, but your e-mail client may 
  very well be sending your e-mail in "chunks" called 
  "attachments". It's common to have e-mail delivered in MIME
  format. MIME stands for Multipart Internet Message Extension 
  (I think). Also, your e-mail client may also *code* your 
  messages in some kind of cryptography or html enhancements. 
  Or, you may have a really great testimony that's in a MS Word
  document that you'd like to share with everyone on the list. 
  If any of these are the case, you can be pretty well assured 
  that you're post won't be approved by the moderators.

  Why?

  Because not everybody on the list has software that will 
  successfuly decode the attachment. A very real situation. Also, 
  realize that if you've attached a word processing document, the 
  listprocessor will often garble the attachment to the point where
  it'll be completely unusable.

  You'll probably be warned from the moderators about attachments 
  before they just start discarding the message from distribution. 
  If there's a setting for your e-mail client, set it to "Plain Text". 
  That is the combination that works best for all.

  --------------------------------------------------------

O.k.... so ... what does this mean?  Well, it means that if we 
moderators see just about any of the following ...

   1) attachments in H-F e-mail
   2) special formatting (like embedded html) used as stationary
      in many Microsoft programs (and others as well)
   3) or any other kind of MIME boundary which segments a piece
      of e-mail up into different segments that can be interpreted
      separately

... you'll probably be asked to re-post it in plain text.

For further assistance to de-MIME-ify your e-mail client, just 
go out to the Higher-Fire archives web-site at ...

   http://www.higherfire.org

... and click on the "Posting Guidelines" link in the left-hand
nav column.  Then when the main body of the browser refreshes,
you'll see several articles that show how to de-MIME many of the
current e-mail clients (Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator,
MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express) so that you can send wonderfully
plain e-mail to the list.

Many thanks.
