BIKE: Car-Free Word newsletter | April 20, 2004

[Michael Bluejay]

Here's the new newsletter:

	http://BicycleUniverse.com/newsletters/2004-04-20.html

Starting with this issue, I will no longer post the whole newsletter 
directly to the list.  Instead I'll post the web address, as you saw 
above, and you can go to the web to read it.  There are many reasons 
for this:

* Many email clients automatically tag HTML mail as spam so many of you 
never get to see the message I send out.

* Big HTML mesages can fill up mailboxes for people who have free 
accounts like on Yahoo and Hotmail.

* When readers point out mistakes, I can fix them on the web and then 
people who haven't read the newsletter yet will definitely see the 
corrected copy.

* It's a big hassle for me to send out the mail in HTML format.  It's 
much easier to just send the link.


For now I'll continue to send out the newsletter in HTML format to the 
newsletter mailing list, so those of you who have a separate 
subscription to the newsletter list will continue to get an HTML 
version.  But that may change in the future too, and I might start 
posting just the web address to the list.  I'll probably run a poll to 
ask the 800+ subscribers which they prefer....

Thanks,
