Email Only Ascii, Not Html, To The Addressee

• Install another mailer (or browser that includes a mailer). If you'r an AOL customer why not ask AOL support how to send Ascii ? & then copy this author the solution for this page ?
  
• Alternatively, you may need AOL to connect your computer to the net, but once the connection is up, other programs to other non AOL mail servers should also work to send & receive mail (though maybe not to AOL servers, & you may need to think about "Smart Host / SMTP Relay" facility for outgoing mail, but not for incoming).
• If you are subscribing an AOL address via Majordomo:
  • Assume AOL is sending both HTML & Ascii (it often is),
  • Ignore all errors Majordomo will spew back from the unwanted HTML & MIME enclosure seperators.
  • Find the line in the response from Majordomo, where the ascii subscribe is seen by Majordomo@, & replied to, &
  • Return the confirmation key (needed to avoid hoax subscriptions), that Majordomo has sent you.

• There are hundreds of people on many Majordomo@berklix based mail lists, far too many to help individuals for free !
• Instead the Majordomo owner > reserves his/her `free' time for writing help pages such as for Majordomo, & spends time maintaining & enhancing the mail list server infrastructure. The Majordomo web page & robot are Free, so use them !

• It's Your problem to master Your mailer software, it's no one else's problem, you have no right to deman free help.
• Learn to drive your mailer properly, or get a better one, & learn that instead.
• If you didn't choose your mailer, & your company did, ask whoever is responsible for computer support in your company.
• If your whole company is overloaded, & not enough computer support is available, corporate computer support is purchasable.
• Ask a more competent friend or colleague who knows your mailer to talk you through how they send Ascii mail.
• Install an extra mailer on your computer that your friends & colleagues reccomend, so they can advise you how to use something they know.
• Get a friend to visit & install better mailer software on your PC. Or visit a competent friend & see how they install & use their mailer to send Ascii.
• Try a different mailer at an Internet cafe
• Visit a friend/ colleague, connect to the net with their computer rather than yours, probably using your login name & password, & use their mailer to send & confirm Ascii subscribe mail to & from Majordomo
• Tell a friend/ colleague your account & password, & get them to use their computer to mail the Majordomo subscribe/ unsubscribe & receive & respond to the authorising confirmation that Majordomo requires. Later if you want, change you password to something new.
• Don't whine, (as a few have), that you don't want to give your password away, even though you'r too incompetent & lazy to learn. Friends or colleagues are more likely to offer to help those who are stuck, if they show proof of having tried to think for themself.

• A smallish subset of GEA people labour under a delusion born perhaps of a mixture of incompetence, laziness & wishful thinking: that it's the GEA@berklix list owner's unpaid obligation to help them with their problems [un]subscribing: - No Way !
• GEA members have consumed far more time per head than all other lists. Too many GEA people consumed time for free for too long. Free subscription help is no longer available. The robot is free, but for Human Consultancy Time it's Cash (Or Beer) In Advance !
• People invest time & money to learn to drive a car ... Yet when people buy a computer, they're often too lazy & mean, to invest time or money to go to computer night classes, training courses, read a mailer manual, read a Majordomo help page, or even think hard, trying to solve simple computer usage puzzles - such as how to send Ascii mail.
• "Engage Brain & Think" is not optional. If a few are both too incompetent & too lazy to learn to subscribe, that's their loss. Others not too lazy, who just need help, should look at Your Solutions above, and at the Majordomo page.
• Start reading, experimenting, thinking, learning !
