[OKDXA] huh

OK Mark,
  Got that one… How about we eliminate some of the addresses and see what we got… Just send to the reflector… everyone you sent to individually should get the email anyway if sent to the reflector, they are all subscribed…

Hi Jeff,

Thanks!

It's interesting to me that I did not consciously or intentionally change anything on this end ever since joining a year ago, and up until now my posts have been successful.

I don't use any other email system, so I don't have a different one to try.  

So far however, I have not paid attention to which of my computers I am posting from to see if that makes any difference.  This email is being composed and sent from my computer in the house.  I can walk out to the radio station and see if my posts from a different computer get posted okay.  On Wednesday I can try to post from a totally separate computer in my office downtown.  

I see this email, sent from my computer in the house, is addressed to a few members plus okdxa at mailman.qth.net - I will walk out to the radio station and post from that computer and see it if is any different.

Thanks Jeff,

Hello Mark,
  Doing a reply all here, so you may get a dupe email if subscribed to the reflector…
 
  The admins for the mailman list (a.k.a. the reflector) are me (Jeff) and Gene W5LE. 
 
  Paying or not paying membership dues has no bearing on your reflector subscription. Anyone can subscribe. Members only are allowed on some pages of the website. 
 
  Are you using an email client?  Do you have some other email accounts you might want to try, like gmail or hotmail? We can do some tests to see what works and what doesn’t, if you like…

Okay, this is a little crazy-nuts.  Peter says they both came through without content, and Jeff says one came through without content and one came through WITH content.

Okay, Jeff, I think the one where you saw the content was the one where I "replied all" so two emails were generated, one to YOU and one to the group.  I bet you're talking about seeing the content to the email that was addressed to you.

Who is the admin for the mailman list?  I can talk to them about it.  They might know.  Lord knows is it because I have not yet paid my dues for 2022 - I can read but I can't post?

Not gonna jump to conclusions.  Already in a crabby mood (because of a post to the CWops reflector)!

In my case, once it leaves qth.net's Mailman instance, it goes to
ARRL's re-mailing service, then to my Google account.  So just that
part could be the problem ... except that it doesn't appear to be
"just me", so something may be going on between megansfamily.net and
qth.net - there appeared to be several hops there.
 
Email, generally, is a mess behind the scenes.  For every legit
message you receive, there are probably 40 or 50 that your ISP
filtered out before they got to your mailbox ... and I don't mean the
ones that ended up in your Spam folder I'm talking messages you never
saw.
 
Various and sundry systems for blacklisting and whitelisting email
systems exist, but it's all a bit of a bodge and it doesn't take much
for something to be mis-marked ...
 
As much as I can, I try to send plain text (no color, no font, etc)
and go easy on the attachments and I try to remember to clean out as
many previous replies as I can in order to go easier on all the
systems between here and there  ... even though I know it won't make a
lot of difference.  :(

Hi all.  I have posted to the group twice in the past couple days, and when I see the ones from me there is no content, but the footer is in place.  Is anyone seeing the actual content I wrote?
