OT: Question

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I have a question for those of you who receive your Feral Vegetarian

list via regular email (Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.) rather than by

reading it on the website or by having a mail client. We

may have discussed this before, but things aren't getting any better for me.

 

I have noticed for a long time that I'm not receiving all of the list

posts from you all. Sometimes I don't even receive my own list

post! For awhile, I thought that it was because I'd set my ISP's

spam filter too high, so I set it to " none. " I still didn't receive

all posts, a fact I confirmed when I went to the Feral website

and checked the posts.

 

I went to the help section to see if I could write and

ask why this is. I couldn't find a way to do that, but I was

directed to a new " service, " the " Mail Plus Service. "

 

It said,

Can I use Netscape, Eudora, or Outlook to send and read my Mail?

Yes! Mail users can read their Mail messages in

Netscape, Eudora, or Outlook by

<http://us.rd./evt=8789/*http://mailplus.mail.>subscribing

to the Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use

Outlook, Eudora, or another POP3 client to access and manage your Mail

 

and also includes the ability to:

* Automatically forward your Mail to another email account

-- even another address.

*

* Send messages up to 10MB in size

* Send email without the promotional text at the bottom.

 

 

 

 

Once you have d, you're ready to set up your Mail

account to read your messages in an email program. Click " Mail

Options, " choose

" <http://popfwd.mail./pf/popfwd?.done=>POP

Access & Forwarding, " and follow the directions.

(and) only $19.99/year*

less than $2/month!

 

 

 

Remember, you can always visit the Mail web site whenever you

like, even if you're receiving your messages using POP.

 

 

It sounded to me like maybe would like us to pay $19.99 a year

to make sure we get all of your email. That would be a little

sneaky, and I'm hoping I'm wrong about that. But I can't figure out

why else I wouldn't be getting all of my email. I get all of

my email from my non- lists as well as my private

correspondence, and a whole lot of spam too boot when I set my filter

to " none. "

 

So my questions are:

Does anyone else experience this problem?

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to remedy this or whom to contact?

Has anybody paid their $19.99 yet?

 

Thanks for any thoughts or help you might be able to give!

i don't know... i don't have this problem because

i get the group's messages in a digest, and i get all

25 messages at once. But i do notice i miss some if

i sign up for individual message delivery or that the

messages come to me in odd order and not chronological.

So i do a bit of reading on list and digest reading.

Wish i could be more help in answering your question.

Playfully, you hid from me.

All day I looked.

Then I discovered I was you,

and the celebration of that began.

Thanks, PT! Well, you confirmed my suspicions that one might miss

some messages if one signs up for individual messages. I love

getting them throughout the day and not all at once, so I'm not doing

digest currently for that reason, but I hate the thought of missing

any of the Feral messages.

 

If anyone has an email addy for help, would you mind posting it

to me offlist? I'd really like to get to the bottom of this.

 

Thanks everso,

Hi Sherry,

 

I'd have to second what PT stated. From time to time (on individual emails)

I'll receive messages out of order. I'll get the response before I'll

receive the original message, however usually things are fine.

 

I'm not sure if getting them through your email client will actually fix

anything. I know that gmail does not charge for pop or forwarding.

 

This is not a addy but an email form for you to submit a query or

comment.

Thanks so much for the URL! I'll pursue my problem that way.

 

Take care,

Hi Sherry

I also receive individual messages in Outlook via Gmail to my Inbox

as I like to download them onto my ppc and read them as and when I

have the time or energy. Coming by such a roundabout route I am

surprised that I receive as many as I do! I belong to quite a number

of and they each seem to act up at different times.

Feral has been ok for me for a wee while but at the moment on one of

my UK groups messages can be anything up to a week late and I always

receive replies before the original posts. Even though I post all my

messages at the group site, they can take anything up to 48 hours to

arrive in my Inbox. Sorry I have no solutions. I do not want to

change to digest as only a certain number of the posts on each

digest will be synched with my ppc so I would also miss out on posts

that way. If you find any solutions I'd be very interested to hear

them.
