Healey Internet Mailing List Information
A Healey Internet mailing List Group exists sponsored by Team.Net. The group consists of 725 members located throughout the world. The list members offer a wealth of information about our cars.
Emails are posted to the list server and forwarded to all the members and questions can be asked to the group.
To join the list follow the link below for the automated enrollment. When you get to the page enter your email address and choose "unsubscribed" as your option. Another page will appear with a list of choices. Two choices are available. "Healeys" and "Healey Digest".
"Healeys" will send you each individual email and is the method I recommend. "Healey Digest" will send you a collection of the days postings as one email and normally requires a program to open.
Check the box for the list you wish to select. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Apply".
You will recieve a message similar to "Your request has been converted to equivelant Majordomo commands".
(Majordomo is the name of the list management program)
Now Click on the following Hyperlink and follow those instructions. When you finish return to this page and follow the rest.
Soon you will receive an email from Majordomo. The email will ask you to confirm your request by returning a command similar to "subscribe healeys".
Highlight that command using your mouse and hit reply. Erase everything but that command and hit send.
Soon You will receive another email asking for authorization. Follow the same procedure highlighting the command and replying.
If all goes well you should be now on the list and recieve a confirmation email!
If you have any problems posting to the list here are a list of common problems:

A common problem seen on mailing lists is email posted with control characters, binary attachments, strange non-ASCII formatting, etc. These problems are commonly caused because Microsoft in particular has some bizarre ideas about what the defaults of their email clients should be (e.g. sending email with HTML tags). Below is information on how you might be able to configure some of the more popular email clients to be able to send email as normal ASCII text.
Outlook 97: Under Tools/Services/Internet Mail/Properties/Message Format:
Make sure the checkbox for "Use MIME when sending message" is not checked.
Under "Character Set", select US ASCII.
Outlook 98: Under Tools/Options/Mail Format:
For Message Format, change "Send in this message formet" to "Plain Text".
Under "Signature," do not attach a vCard.
Netscape 4: Under Edit/Preferences/Mail&Groups/Messages:
Make sure that the checkbox for "By Default, send HTML messages" is not checked.
Netscape 4: Under Edit/Preferences/Mail&Groups/Identity:
Make sure that the checkbox for "Always attach Address Book Card to messages" is not checked.
Microsoft Exchange: The following is from www.annoyances.org/win95:
A good way to piss people off on the Internet is to repeatedly fill their mailbox with the useless WINMAIL.DAT attachments that Microsoft Exchange insists on including. Since Exchange supports rich-text email (bold, italic, multiple fonts, etc.), and Internet email doesn't, any email
sent from Exchange to a non-Exchange mail reader will contain an Attachment called WINMAIL.DAT. If you use Exchange, you won't see this file, and the message will retain its formatting. However, it can be confusing for those who don't use Exchange (the majority of the Internet population), and have no use for this file. Here's how to turn it off:
Step #1:
Double-click on the Mail and Fax icon in Control Panel.
Click on the Services tab, and select Internet Mail from the list. If Internet Mail is not listed, click Add to add this service.
Click Properties, and then Message Format.
Turn off the option that reads Use MIME when sending messages.
Click OK and then OK again.
Step #2:
Double-click on the name of each recipient in your Address Book.
Turn off the option that reads Always send to this recipient in Microsoft rich-text format.
This option needs to be set for each recipient of a message - if even one has this turned on, all recipients will still get the attachment.
Microsoft Exchange: The following is from www.annoyances.org/win95:
Let me guess; You've figured out how to turn off Rich Text in Exchange so you can send email to anyone on the Internet without the useless WINMAIL.DAT file, but now Exchange has put an equals sign "=" at the end of each line. To fix this bug in Exchange, do the following:
Open the Internet Mail Properties window, and click on the General tab.
Select Message Format, and then Character Set.
Change the character set from ISO-8859-2 to US ASCII.
