Hello. Why are you reading this? This is a test message to make sure
I'm not sending anything encoded (or as an Attachment, as some of you like
to think of it). If it is, I apologize in advance.

I read it because I want to see why you feel the need for testing. And cause
I can. :P

Your message came through just fine, with nothing abnormal that I can see.
No html, no attachments.

*sigh*
Sending a test message, to the list, that might possibly contain an
attachment, in order to see if you're sending attachments...

There are other ways of doing that y'know, like e-mailing a friend or
telnetting into a free e-mail account and mailing it there...

Yes, I am aware of that. I was just being quadruply-sure. You weren't
supposed to read, let alone respond, to the message in the first place.

Of what? Don't you trust the technology? --The computer is your
friend.

Or are you haveing trouble with your e-mailer? You know, you can
always send messages to yourself to test your ISP's deamon-mailer & CC:
'em to your friends at diffrent DNS's. Or even send COMMANDS (only) to
LISTSERV@********.ITRIBE.NET to test out this list's computer.

If you didn't intend for all of us to read your test message, then what
in Bob's Green Earth possessed you to send it to *ALL 300* of us??!

If you want to spam someone, Spam yourself! (ie. send 'em
rhetorically.)

And while you're at it, read the ShadowRN FAQ before posting. That way
you'd know better than sending embarrassing test messages everybody.

Sheesh!!

Okay, people. If it's a test message that is to be ignored, just do so for
crying out loud. We have enough threads here already.

Thing is, many of us (myself included) just page through the email
messages, rather than selecting them individually from an index. I'm
sure this has come up before in reference to spoilers, and if you've
been on the list for as long as I think you have, you should have
already seen it.

<Take home message: Never assume things about about the way anyone else
reads their email. From a random sampling of X listmembers they probably
read their email in X+3 different ways...>

The way I read my mail is to open the first, and then scan through the rest.
The only time I ever SEE the subject line then is if I'm forced back into
the menu by some MIME crap, or look at the header....

So, in other words, I didn't have much choice....
