Dear Bergie or any addministrator guy,
I got a new e-mail address and updated my profile but I haven't been getting any newsletters that I checked off (i.e. railroading, scale model trains). Is there a problem? Help!


I wonder if Yahoo is blocking our e-mails to you. We'll look into that. Since we send so many e-mails, some ISPs thinking we're spamming and block our e-mails. We had that problem with AOL a few months back. We had to contact them and confirm our e-mails are opted-in to at the users request. We'll check Yahoo.

It's o.k., Bergie. I got the newsletter today and I must say it looks fantastic. Keep it up![:D]

Very nice I like it looks good better than just a news letter with words. course it may not be so good to those who do not get it in html mail.

The new format is fine. I also agree about increasing the size of the video clips. But (and you knew there was a 'but' coming, didn't you), what happened to MR Express? I enjoy the brief articles. They have given me some great ideas. Please continue with them.

Life is simple - eat, drink, play with trains!

IT IS ABOUT TIME !. As much I love vintage ( steam, especially geared locos) railroading, I am a techno-geek <g> when it comes to on-line communications.

BTW, I gave been reading MR since 1949, Keep up the great work.

It's about time the editor authorized this the text version was almost annoying to read.

The new HTML format is easy to read and well organized. It doesn't require wading through alot of text to get to the meat of the subject!

Great. I think the other letters have said it all. I find it easy to navigate.

The graphics version is much better than the text version I previously received. Obviously I enjoy receiving the Model Railroader e-mail each week even though I don't want HTML e-mails from other sources as I take the view that if I want to see the "bells and whistles" I will go to the web page.
I look forward to more of the new format and will watch your future development of it.

The new format looks great. The load times when you go to another link is still much too slow.

Great new format. I can see how it could lead to having ads attached to it. I hope that does not happen, because if it does the content will be lost.
