Hey guys, David is out on vacation this week, so I am speaking out on
behalf of his aklug-test list. He was hoping more of you guys would
try it out this week, to see if you liked how it worked or wanted
anything tweaked. I've been playing around with it myself and am very
happy with it. We had some initial problems with his mail server
configuration, but once that was smoothed out, everything works like
clockwork. As far as I can tell, it provides all the same
functionality of our current list, except that it has proper MIME
support. I tested it with PGP, image attachments, and various
formatting approaches, and it works great. You guys might have other
weird attachments to try.

If I might be blunt: I've been a little surprised by the lack of
interest and encouragement shown to David after he offered to host the
list, especially in view of the complaints that have been made about
our current list. I understand that sometimes it is easier to stick
with what works than to improve the situation, but in this case David
has done all the hard work for us -- not only providing the server
space (pro bono) but configuring and managing all the software
himself. I think we'd be pretty stupid not to switch over to a list
hosting situation managed by a fellow AKLUG'er, rather than continuing
to rely on an old university listserv that we can't tweak, mod, or
improve.
