[QCWA] Reflector 101

[Bob Roske]

I'm getting lots of email from folks that are having problems posting to the 
reflector.

The 3 most often found reasons are:

message returned as HTML
     this is caused by how the email client on your PC is set up to send 
email.
     I use Windows Mail, Vista OS and have a choice of Rich Text Format (RTF 
or HTML)  or Plain Text, I suspect you have something similar.
     if you message is returned as HTML check the properties(right click on 
it) and look for the line
     Content-Type: text/html  it should say  Content-Type: text/plain

message returned as possible SPAM.
      reword your message,  an ISP's definition of spam can change hourly.

     SPAM definitions: specific words and/or phrases usually found in a spam 
message.

posting to the reflector with an email id that you are not subscribed with.
     if I subscribe with n0uf at arrl.org  I can't post using 
broske at hutchtel.net
     Some know how to use arrl.org by spoofing  the email client, don't do 
it, it's not a good idea.
     some ISPs do bounce spoofed email ids.

     spoofed: the email id's domain used doesn't match the ISP's domain that 
generated the email.

I really can't help you with any of these.
