181498 2003-10-09 01:11:00 I have been trying to send an e-mail to :
discuss@linmodems.org

I keep getting the following error message :

/bin/sh: [: ==: binary operator expected
ezmlm-reject: fatal: Sorry, I don't accept messages of MIME Content-Type 'multipart/alternative' (#5.2.3)

I am using Outlook Express 5.5. I have tried changing the format from HTML to plain text, but it makes no difference.
Would anyone be able to tell me what the problem is ?

181500 2003-10-09 01:42:00 Maybe it ought to be discuss-subscribe@linmodems.org. They have a discussion group. TonyF (246)
181501 2003-10-09 01:56:00 With OE open go to Tools/Options
Click on the Send Tab
Mail Sending Format- select Plain text
Click on Plain Text Settings and with MIME selected, in the box Encode Text Using select None

181502 2003-10-11 01:09:00 I found that when I had changed my options to Plain text the MIME none option was already set. But I remembered that with OE, changes to options often don't take effect until one closes & restarts OE. I did this and restarted Windows for good measure. After that, all was well. unsavvy (4648)

Please have eyes test and re-read post.

If you are going to flame, at least have a sound argument behind them.
