1 e-Mail

e-Mail is usually the fastest, most reliable, and easiest way to reach me.

My e-mail address is dommelen@eng.famu.fsu.edu

Please do not send me MS Word documents, Wordperfect, PDF, etcetera. Convert them to plain text, (which may be listed as space delimited text or ASCII on the Save As.. menu), and send them that way. Or simply paste it into the body of your message.

Please do not send me HTML or both text and HTML. In Netscape, go into Edit / Preferences / Mail / Messages and check that sending HTML is not checked.

Please include plain text in the body of your message by pasting it in. On the other hand, attach binaries, (in particular scanned homeworks, pictures, etcetera), as attachments.

You will want to scan homework as greyscale or color (not monochrome) at 100 dots per inch (not 300 or more) and save them as .jpg or .gif files. (You may have to go into ``Advanced'' to select those settings.) If you save to .jpg, use fair quality / about 75% quality / about quality 4. Alternatively, save to .pdf.

Please do not include pictures or vcf files in your signature.

As an aid, here is a list of file types and their actions:

$\bullet$
.doc .wp .txt: paste the text directly into the body of your message.
$\bullet$
.jpg .gif: send as attachments
$\bullet$
.bmp .tiff: convert to .gif or .jpg
$\bullet$
.eps .ps: zip or pkzip the file and send the .zip file as attachment
