pynchon-l-digest V2 #7708

[Krafft, John M.]

Are other people getting messages like the one below? It came to me as part of a digest, and I wondered whether others got it as an individual message. I didn't check the archive this time, but when I've gotten garbage (that's a technical term, not a critical judgment) like this before and checked, I've found the same thing there. But nobody ever seems to comment about it on list, and no sender who has not managed to communicate (presumably) ever seems to post a retry. So what's going on? (Is the lack of response or self-correction a sign that people aren't really trying to communicate here? Hey, that would explain ... ) And how much longer do we have to limp along with network software that isn't up to the job? I'd be happy to chip in for an upgrade, but nobody seems able (willing?) to do anything.

John
