Hello all,

Many of you have reported getting some blank NIFL-Health messages. It does
seem that messages with a MIME format are often troublesome. I checked with
one of NIFL's technical folks and learned that this relates to the way a
message is built, not received.

Anyway, here's the technical answer about at least one of the blank
messages:
"The message ... appears to have body content seperators that are
incorrectly
formed (not following RFC standards).  [The sender] should notify her mail
administrator
of the problem.  It would be a problem with the way the message is built
before being sent to the recipients (in this case the list)."

I am happy to pass this information along to those of you who are fluent
technology speakers. But if I had to take a test on my understanding of what
this means - I'd be a Level 1!
