<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello sust-mar subscribers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just giving a quick update that the we've
dropped the 'no attachments' rule on sust-mar and have altered the
configurations to allow attachments and HTML.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>Please note: It is still in your best
interests to include all essential information in text format, as that ensures
your message will have more readers.</STRONG> Many readers probably wont bother
opening attachments, and not every computer can handle all varieties of
formatting. But every year a higher percentage of messages are being
submitted with attachments, fancy fonts and multiple formats, and many have
to be sent back. It's at the point where it feels futile continuing
to fight against this trend, so you are free to take your chances and
submit in whatever format you wish. <STRONG>But we still recommend
text</STRONG>.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If there's an overwhelming resistance to this
policy please let us know at <A

But in 2014 we're thinking that most if not all subscribers are no longer on
dialup connections, and can handle far more kb coming in than was the
case 10 years ago when the size limit and text only policies were put in
place.</FONT></DIV>
