Ok, I've reached my limit with this little quirk of the list. The first copy of digest #2569 freaked Eudora out. This happens occationally, it's a pain in the butt, but hey I like the list. I close down Eudora and restart my computer (this is necessary because *nothing* works after one of those "nasty" digests), delete the original and send the command to get another. This generally works fine but this time it messes up my system also. I go through the process again and guess what, the *third* copy does the exact same thing! I have *never* had this problem with any other list in the 7 years I've been on the net and in that time I've been on plenty of mailing lists. I *love* this list and have learned a lot from it, but I just can't put up with stuff that doesn't work. Please, for the love of God, fix whatever problem is causing this before I completely lose my mind! Monica L. Tittle [log in to unmask] Run Liddy, run! [Moderator's note: Certainly sounds frustrating. But, umm, issue 2569 would be this current issue, that wasn't out yet when you wrote your note. One other person also using Eudora 3.0.5 complained about issue #2562 though. But the problem is not in the digest, it's in Eudora. The digest conforms to ALL the applicable standards for email headers and digest format. Though if by chance it didn't, I think it's a bit absurd to accept that ANY email program would crash on bad email and take your computer down with it. I have a hunch about what's causing it -- I'm guessing Eudora doesn't like certain characters (like colons) to begin a line. I've reformmated issue 2562 to avoid that. Might be worth a try. Other things to try are to get the digest in MIME format (I can set that for you) or to ask for it in pieces (e.g. GET FERRET 2562 SPLIT=25 will get it in chunks of 25,000 characters). Or, better yet, use a later version of Eudora (though, yes, I know there is not yet a freeware version past 3.0.6). BIG] [Posted in FML issue 2569]
