    I'm a newbie to CW. When I try to send my warrior to koth@sal this error
    comes up:

    Error processing your e-mail.

    I don't understand this line.
    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.



    I don't know how to deal with it.
    And this is the e-mail I sent:
    ;redcode-94b
    ;name MotherShip
    ;author ZeFlox
    ;strategy double silk -> rock
    ;assert 1
    fstep equ 1000
    sstep equ 125
    start spl 1, 0
    spl 1, 0
    mov -1, 0
    fsilk spl @fsilk, #fstep
    mov }fsilk, >fsilk
    ssilk spl @ssilk, #sstep
    mov }ssilk, >ssilk
    rock spl rock, >rock-1
    mov 1, >rock-1
    dat <rock-2, #2-rock
    @end

    (I'm not a native English speaker, so please excuse my poor English. XP

    Hi,

    Welcome to r.g.cw :-)

    Normally this error can be solved by sending a plain-text email (you need
    to change the settings). If this doesn't help, please let me know.

    Also consider sending MotherShip to the multi-warrior hill (;redcode-94m
    on koth.org) where it might score well.

    Good luck,

    John

    Hi Zeflox,

    Yes, I get that message as well. It is not possible to post to SAL if you are using Firefox or Gmail on Linux. As a result I can't use that list.
    Gmail has baked in Multipart MIME and Firefox no longer uses ASCII spaces. so both fail.
    koth@koth.org handles multipart MIME and you can still post to it with Gmail but Tuc refused to add in UTF-8 -> ASCII space conversion so you cannot access it via Firefox.
    I believe you can access both hills if you are using a Microsoft mail client by setting it to Plain Text as John has indicated but neither of Firefox or Gmail actually support that.

    Regards,
    Steve Gunnell

    Thanks for your reply.

    I used Thunderbird to host my email and used plain text email, and now
    this issue has been resolved very well :-)
