Trying to continue the dialogue with Norbert from my Royal Holloway
a/c is proving impossible — the university has elected to have all
e-mails intercepted by Microsoft and all URLs mutated into something
totally impenetrable, which not only causes my browser to report a
probable phishing attempt every time that I click on a link, it also
makes messages impossibly verbose. I am therefore testing whether I
can post to this list from a private e-mail address using my own
SMTP relay, and which takes all replies via Gmail. <br>
<br>
Just to demonstrate the impossibility of understanding e-mails via
my university a/c, I append the most recent. If this test is
successful, all subsequent messages from me to this list (and
analogous lists) will come from this account, which will also avoid
the equally unpleasant forced insertion of [EXT] into all received
subject lines.<br>
<br>
Incidentally, I cannot find the "texcollection" list at <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo">https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo</a>,
so do not know how to subscribe to it, nor whether this message will
reach it.<br>
