If a message starts from a Yahoo user account (like Don's), and goes to a mailing list server, and is then distributed back to several other Yahoo users who are list-members, Yahoo treats all those copies as suspect messages and rejects them. The list server receives the rejection notices and eventually unsubs all those Yahoo users. Wrapping Don's message inside another message is a partial work-around to this problem. --RC From dlh@donnahalper.com Tue Sep 1 15:34:37 2015 From: dlh@donnahalper.com (Donna Halper) Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:34:37 -0400 Subject: strange message formating on BRI In-Reply-To: <0c3c01d0e4dd$bb8f2410$32ad6c30$@garysicecream.com> References: <0c3c01d0e4dd$bb8f2410$32ad6c30$@garysicecream.com> Message-ID: <55E5FDCD.20108@donnahalper.com> On 9/1/2015 1:43 PM, Gary's Ice Cream wrote: > Does anyone know why Don's messages always show up as a message inside a > message? > This seems to be a Yahoo bug of some kind.

Yes, and this was announced previously. It's because he posts from Yahoo! Mail, and Yahoo and AOL decided to break mailing-lists. This is the only mechanism we have to allow users of those services to post to the list without Gmail bouncing all their messages (thereby causing Gmail subscribers to be automatically kicked off). -GAWollman From wollman@bimajority.org Tue Sep 1 21:40:44 2015 From: wollman@bimajority.org (Garrett Wollman) Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2015 21:40:44 -0400 Subject: WYCN-TV in Nashua?

The "must carry" rules for subchannels are very simple: MVPDs (cable and satellite providers) are not required to carry them. To the extent they do, it's either acting out of the goodness of their hearts (yeah, right), or it's because their retransmission consent agreement for the main program stream requires that they do so. -GAWollman From Donald_Astelle@Yahoo.com Wed Sep 2 01:30:32 2015 From: Donald_Astelle@Yahoo.com (Don) Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 01:30:32 -0400 Subject: WYCN-TV in Nashua?

Well, maybe that'll be a part of it somehow, but the website and on air signal instead point to conservative talk. That means the usual secular hosts heard on Salem's "Answer" stations like their 1250 in Pittsburgh: Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Praeger, Michael Medved, and Hugh Hewitt plus Salem's townhall.com news. The nickname is The Buzz, though, so if you know the Answer, hit your buzz-er. "Watercooler talk just got smarter" is one slogan. Where's the financial news? It seems to be part of the website at least and maybe it'll be part of the programming somehow; the same hosts were tried by Salem some years ago on WTTT 1150 (the station whose website had a lovely picture of the city skyline...Baltimore...Oops!) No local hosts, unlike the Pittsburgh operation where Rose Tennant (ex War Room) at least gets two hours (and apparently doesn't take phone calls, as I noticed when spending a week or so in the 'burgh in August). So true-blue Boston has conservative talk on 680, 1030 (Rea), 1430, 1510, and now 1260. The election is coming up, folks, and so far nothing resembling prog talk on commercial radio. Given Salem's political views, Stephanie Miller fans shouldn't hold their breath hoping she'll turn up there. http://am1260thebuzz.com/schedule From raccoonradio@gmail.com Sat Sep 19 09:20:02 2015 From: raccoonradio@gmail.com (Bob Nelson) Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2015 09:20:02 -0400 Subject: Hoping to preserve WVCA 104.9 online Message-ID: http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/2015/09/18/geller/orMweGrqNefX0Q1RZ4t5wJ/story.html?event=event25 These days you may hear a slick jingle: "Your good time favorites, North Shore 104 point 9!" or a Red Sox game.
