There's something mysterious going on at your end, Dave.  Is your email address an alias for earthlink.net, subject to another layer of filtering by the alias provider?

I use Earthlink and I read and post to lists using Earthlink's webmail system.  I have received perfectly every attachment that has been sent through the milsurplus and arc5 lists in the past few days, including the postings sent in other than plain text.  

Robert's test photo to the list in rich text came through great, with the dynamotor photo neatly shown in the message body.

>From my experience, the administrators of milsurplus and arc5 have set up the lists to work as they intended with the new attachment and non-plain text capability.  Very nice...this will be extremely useful.

The only problem I've had with Earthlink resently was bounces from milsurplus causing list delivery to be disabled for a few days after 12 December, until I enabled delivery again at the milsurplus options page.  The arc5 list was unaffected.

But that's a separate issue...the attachments (including your jpg, mp3, and pdf) coming here at my earthlink.net address proptly and properly.

Dave, there may be some other mysteries with your email.  I sent you an off-list message a few days ago and received no response...almost like you did not receive it.
