Subject: Presto! graphics question

Hi -

I've been encountering a seemingly random problem where messages sent from
Presto!Mail to another Presto!Mail user have lost the graphics, and included
the message "Some Magic Cap encoded information could not be interpreted and
has been discarded.  The text portion of the message follows."  In a message
I received from one friend, the text was in fact included.  In a message I
sent to some one else last night, even the text was missing.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?  On other occasions I have
exchanged mail with both of these folks, and the messages have translated
perfectly.  In fact, in the instance last night, I sent two messages to the
same person in the same mail session, and one transferred intact while the
other lost all the data.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nancy

Hello,

I'd like to be an AOL beta tester, and received the first E-mail, but never
received the NDA...

Thanks,

Dear Magic Cap Discussion List,

Is Web Mail usable on a Magic Link without P'link? How does one set up for
requests via AOL?

TIA

Dear MAGICCAP@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU,


Sorry for this, but I want to pick up on a thread that was posted about a
week ago concerning getting my PIC-2000 to recognize and format the new GRID
2Meg SRAM cards from Reboot.  I got several helpful replies including one
that instructed me to power down, slip in the new card, power up, and hit the
option key while inserting the new card.  I got the message that the card was
"locked".  More tinkering only got me the message that I should take out the
card and move the switch to unlock the write protect (it already was
unlocked).  Any further suggestions on how to get my ML to recognize or
format this card would be appreciated.  I'd rather havve the 2 Megs than a
refund of the $100.

Regards,

Dave Courvoisier, Las Vegas

I just got a 2mg from Reboot (and for only $69+) and had problems at first.
First they had the tag on wrong for which way to insert the card.  Finally,
I HELD the option key while powering up and it asked me if I wanted to
"format" (in its own manner).  After that the card has been operating just
perfectly.
