[meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Larry Atkins]

Hi Greg,

That's good to know, maybe in Mike's case it's just operator error : ) 
What about android? Anyone?

Theredoesn't seem to be a way to adjust the format ofoutgoing email from an iPhoneor iPad. Most info I have found makes me believethat iOS sends plain text bydefault but I have had problems as well. I thinkthat the final formatting canbe affected by the content (e.g. links) or also bythe email provider. Theissue has actually made me consider removing therestriction onhtml.Regards, ArtSent from my iPhone> On Apr 30, 2015, at 11:35AM,Michael Farmer <mike at meteoriteguy.com> wrote:> > I still don't understand.Iuse an IPhone and iPad for 100% of my emails these days.

Unfortunately for me, I don't seem to get thejoy from facebook that themet list of old gave me. I have barely said 2 wordson facebook. I really can'tput my finger on what the disconnect is, but it'sthere. Perhaps it's thesnippets of info instead of more details, maybe it's thehundreds of people thatwant to be my 'friend' that I've never heard of.
