Re: A Transferred Attachment
Shal,
I was looking at the wrong email that I gave you information on, as a few replies before that email I found the right one. The image was done by another person, and they told how they did it. They "composed message with Rich Text Editor function. Drag/dropped photo into message editor." He was using Firefox on a Mac. Don |

Probably From the poster's ID rather than from the list (posting ID) Here is a sample of a post I made tonight: The first is the message in the online archives: The second is from the archives or the mirroring group's archives at Google Groups: and here it is in the Groups.io archives to which I manually posted the message: ?It seems that in all three cases the poster's ID is designated in the From header. I would like to subscribe the Groups.io Permaculture Group to the ibiblio permaculture mailing list, which the Google Groups permaculture Group is already subscribed (and grandfathered in to continue using the mirroring feature, which Google has now discontinued).

Lawrence,
It would need to provide a unique user ID to use to subscribe theSounds like something an Email Integration could do. That generates a unique email address which could be subscribed to the mirrored list, and which is allowed to post in the Groups.io list. I'm not sure how the mirrored messages are attributed - that is, I don't know if they appear to be "From" the integration address or the address of the original poster to the mirrored list.

In DON we tried to devise fool-proof (or sailor-proof) plan, but in our management systems we found that the only systems that had problems were those run by the computer system experts... KEN "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system.

Don,
Or are updates a never ending thing?There's an old saying in computer science to the effect that the only complete and error-free program is one that nobody uses. The observation is that any software that is in regular use ends up being used for things the author never anticipated - and so unexpected behaviors ("bug reports") and new requirements ("feature requests") are endlessly generated. I wish I could dig up the source on that one. Then there's this gem: "There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works." Alan Perlis, "Epigrams on Programming" Back in the late seventies I took a class on programming in APL from Dr. Perlis. The quote is very much apt of his humor.

Since Mark does updates every week will there ever be a time when he does not have to update? Or are updates a never ending thing?

Re: A Transferred Attachment
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýShal, ? I can bring up the image by clicking on the thumbnail, but I don¡¯t know if that will give me any pertinent information. After I found the email with the three thumbnails below the text, I started wondering if all the images were done at the same time, in the same way, why didn¡¯t I get all three images instead of just one. Whatever that person did with his post couldn¡¯t be an isolated occurrence (Or could it be?), that they or no one else had not replicated in 18 years of posts. If the image was embedded into the email could that make a difference? ? Don ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shal Farley ? Don, |
Re: The Transfer Message
Yes, that would be the thing to do, but, as I said, when dealing with people all sorts of surprises can occur, even with the simplest of things. For example, when I asked this individual to subscribe to the new groups.io group to test it out he couldn't do it. I provided the subscribe email address but he kept deleting, or his system kept deleting, the +subscribe part of the address. Even after pointing this out to him he still couldn't see it. I then went to another very high quality person. He essentially did the same thing. Somehow the '+' was replaced with '%2B' and he couldn't see the error when the message came back saying the group does not exist. It is so simple to do. Just copy the email address from the message I sent them. I don't understand it. I know that if I include a warning statement prior to the move, some people will not have understood it, or forget it by the time it takes place which could be days a week. For example, it is now two days since I informed transfer to move the small astronomy group and it still has not happened.
