TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I noticed the blank messages coming from Nancy, and I noticed she's
using Verizon Webmail to send her messages to the list - she even
mentioned this explicitly in this message:
My guess is that she has managed to configure Verizon Webmail to _only_
send HTML email, and the Mailman list management software that's used
for TECHWR-L strips the HTML part and sends the (empty) text/plain
message part.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to Verizon Webmail and they don't
appear to have any online help that doesn't require a login, so I can't
even dig through and recommend how to fix the situation - but, perhaps
this will help Nancy, if she can find the appropriate configuration
setting to either send plain text to the list address, or at least send
both HTML and plain text versions of her outgoing mail.
Good luck, and godspeed! :-)
