[hpsdr] How to get your message through

[Don Jackson AE5K]

A few little reminders from your discussion list administrator on how to 
best get your message to the list in the best way:

1. Send your message to the list using a return email address identical 
to the one (or more) you are subscribed with.  Our "mailman" software 
running this list is not smart enough to equate your subscribed address 
with your other possible addresses and will rather abruptly reject your 
message.

2. If you receive list messages in DIGEST mode, make sure you use a 
subject in your email reply which describes your message!  Digest 
replies not following this may be rejected.

3. When quoting a message in a reply, trim EVERYTHING except for what 
you still need from the other guy's message to maintain context.

4. Use plain text ASCII mode in your email program to send messages to 
the list.  Using other modes are unnecessary and may bloat your message 
to trip the size threshold -- which means your message will be held for 
human approval or rejection.

5. Use an appropriate subject in your message.  When threads get off the 
original topic, revise the subject.  This helps others find messages of 
interest to them, but "live" and in the archives.

6. If at all possible, give a link (URL) in your message which points at 
articles, drawings, files and other material instead of including it as 
an attachment.  Almost half the subscribers will not see it anyway if 
you send it as an attachment, and it will not be archived.

Delay or moderation may take place upon loss of common sense and courtesy.

Thanks to all who do post messages responsibly,
