A number of people are having the same problem as me, when you post as a response to an ongoing thread, in place of your message, the following message appears: An embedded & charset-unspecified text was scrubbed ... and a link is given that leads to the desired message. It's better than nothing , but it sure is annoying, and some readers will skip it instead of doing the extra link. It's also annoying to read a thread, when several posters , through no fault of their own, get "scrubbed". I always think of an e-mail as pure ASCII text, unless you add an attachment. Is it possible that some e-mail hosts ( I use gmail ) embed binary code into the e-mail? Maybe the R mailing list software is reacting to that. ************************** On another note, I tryed posting on gmane, to add to the thread from last week. It just disappeared , or maybe not, I don't know. Maybe it's related to the one-time registration requirement for gmane. ************************* As far as I can tell, the above problem (scrubbing) does not occur when you do a stand-alone post, not as a response to an ongoing thread. Hope it stays that way! ************************** Have a nice day.
Difficulties With Posting To Ongoing Threads on the R Mailing List

When you reply in gmail be sure you are using Plain Text and not Rich Formatting. If you press Reply or Reply All and you see immediately above the text entry area B I U ... Plain Text then you are in Rich Text mode. Click on Plain Text at the right of the line just above the text entry area to enter your text in Plain Text mode.
