I run a couple of large mailing lists, SunFlash and FlashBack,
for users of Sun computers. Over the last year or so I have been
offering a weekly digest in Sun's MailTool format. That is, the
message body has a brief synopsis for each article posted that week
and the full-text of all the articles included as MailTool attachements.
After running the weekly version with a couple of hundred subscribers,
I added MIME support. Since the start of this year, I have been offering
my 'daily' lists in MIME and MailTool format. I have been encouraging
people to move to the "multi-media" lists. I now have about 2,000
multi-media subscribers (of my 150,000+ subscriber base).
My goal is to create an audience that can accept pictures, audio clips,
PostScipt documents, screen shots, etc. Before I get too carried
away, I was wondering, is anyone else is running 'multi-media' lists
with MIME or MailTool ? Are there issues that I should be aware of ?
Thanks!
