Re: [GSAS-board] Newsletter by email

[Steev Ward <steevward@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for the suggestions Erik. Maybe you could think of some more ideas to 
tell the
board members (email options). I've got ten people that asked for the (reduced) 
email
version so far. Only one negative comment: that it doesn't print out well (if 
you
wanted to print it). I'm going to mail the rest of the newsletters tomorrow and 
then
I'll just wait and see what comes up for the next issue. Right now I've got to 
find
time to work on my presentation for the September meeting.

P.S. Do you want an email copy of the newsletter? Only 1.7 MB.
