It turned out that their mail provider (the       same provider in both cases) rejected mail with a PDF attachment. I'm       going to have to send it by snail mail.              (Or perhaps it was rejected because my message was in plain text, with       no HTML. I still haven't tracked down the precise cause.)              Some mail providers are becoming tougher and tougher about rejecting       mail for obscure reasons. (And sometimes they don't even tell the sender       that the attempt failed.) Maybe we'll all have to go back to snail mail.              --       Peter Moylan peter@pmoylan.org http://www.pmoylan.org       Newcastle, NSW              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
