Any magic for posting messages with code snippets?

Thank you gentlemen for getting me squared away with this! Somedays I love technology and other days it frustrates the heck out of me.

Since yesterday PM, I have been attempting to post a message to the
group but, for some reason, it never appears. It is my first time
posting a message with some VB.Net code in it and I am wondering if
that has anything to do with it. Any ideas? Thank you!

Yahoo doesn't seem to like HTML. Try using plain text.

Thank you for your reply! I am logged into the Yahoo Vantage Group and
can't figure out how to set plain text. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

The web interface (via YahooGroups login) should be plain text already. HTML is an issue for those who have group messages sent to their regular email (usually something like Outlook/Exchange) at a company address. I get all my group messages in my regular email (color coded). My regular email format is HTML so for replies (like this) I have to remember to change format in Outlook to Plain Text or else about 20% of replies will never show up.

For code snipits via the web interface try copying them to Notepad then copy from there to the posting to strip out possible hidden characters or formatting.

Here's an article with pointers on how to make your email client always
respond in text for certain email addresses:

I'm wondering if there's a better group tool out there for our
purposes?



e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/epicor-erp



?
