No, it's *NOT* broken.  It is your e-mail application(s) that are
broken (or misconfigured).

I've used Thunderbird for nearly 15 years with no problems on this
list or any other list that uses MailMan software. Simply make
sure that the e-mail account *DOES NOT* have "Compose messages in
HTML format" checked in Account Settings -> Composition & Addressing.

For some reason, I cannot post to tower talk. Steve says that my emails have lots of exranious text in them. I have tried to post and reply from both Thunderbird and directly from Gmail on a browser.
Still none of posts will come through.


Thanks

I totally agree with you, Joe.
If it's not broken, don't fix it!

You need to realize that there are *17* lists hosted at Contesting.com
run on the MailMan software. Tower talk is not the *only* consideration
here.

In addition to the MailMan lists at Contesting.com, there are over 500
(public) amateur oriented lists using MailMan software on QTH.net.

Reflexively abandoning MailMan for TowerTalk after 22 years would be
absurd and offer nothing of value other than a useless (IMO) web
interface.
