Hello everyone;
I just thought I'd boar you with a few of my recent =20 experiences and see 
if anyone had any ideas.
I am the happy owner of a new Braille plus which is a notetaker designed to 
work with nls and bookshare which it does very well.  It also has an email 
and internet program.  The browser works reasonably well.  The email program 
does not have a plain txt option.  Further it uses lynex which may or may 
not be a problem.  This list took messages it sent but you all saw the extra 
characters that came with the txt.  Another list rejected the message not 
because they had a problem with the txt but because they thought there were 
extra characters in the "to address".
When contacting the manufacturer they initially said the isp was at fault. 
When discussing the fact that the browser works fine and I don't have any 
significant problems with the body of the message when sending to an 
individual, I was then told that the list had probably not updated its 
software to accept info from a lynex machine.  Interestingly, messages work 
just fine when sent to the list for users of this device.  One user said 
that if she wanted to reply to a post from another list and wasn't at her 
pc, she forwarded it to her pc address and later sent it to the list. 
Although more than a bit annoying this seemed to work.
The moral of the story would seem to be that no matter what the problem 
might be its someone else's fault.
This was for fun not to bash any particular company.
Things get complicated and stuff happens.
