www.gnupg.org unaccessible ? (Adam Pavelec)

[Leigh S. Jones, KR6X]

If you are referring to web sites that allow HTTP (preferably HTTPS) access
to e-mail servers,
I was quite pleasantly pleased with one of the packages that is available
for use on Linux.  It
also provided POP3 and IMAP4 access to the same account.  I've also had a
working Microsoft
Exchange implementation with roughly the same features, but it was
incredibly expensive and
only offerred a small speed improvement over the free Linux implementation.
These software
packages have the advantage that your Netscape messenger can use the IMAP4
features when
you have a high speed connection from your home or office, or use the POP3
access when you
dial up your lap top from the hotel room over a modem, then when you are in
an internet cafe in
Paris and don't have your laptop along, their browser can access the web
mail version.  All 3
work seamlessly on the same e-mail accounts.

But I would never suggest that anyone should accept the limitations that are
inheirent with
most web-based e-mail services like Hotmail, etc.

On the other hand, if by HTML e-mail you are referring to HTML formatting of
e-mail contents,
I have come to equate this with spamming -- wanton self-absorbed abuse of
the freedom of
the internet.  The vast majority of the HTML formatted e-mail I receive, and
come to think of
it the vast majority of the e-mail bandwidth that I receive, is indeed
unsolicited and unwanted
commercial advertising.

It looks like the machine is alive, and the web server is responding, but it
doesn't seem to be serving any content right now.

<<< See Attachment for TraceRoute details... >>>

An off-topic question:

What are your opinions on HTML e-mail?  In response to a previous post re:
attaching Public Key information to an e-mail, personally, I have been using
a template such as the one being used in this message which points to the
search results of a Public Keyserver.  I understand that a lot of veterans
despise HTML e-mail.  So, what are *your* thoughts?!?
