[Rhodes22-list] Permission to come aboard?

Sun Mar 29 17:19:04 EDT 2015

Hi Mike,
Jefferson is having the issue because some of the photo and 
attachment links do reference Nabble if the original poster used 
Nabble as a web interface to post to the list rather than from their 
email. At some point Nabble must have moved everything from an old to 
a new version but some of the embedded links still reference the 
domain old.nabble.com.  Even Google search will turn up posts (on 
John Lock's server) that reference these old links. In my mucking 
around with it today, I did find links that worked but it involved a 
bit of cross-referencing and research and even then, I may have just 
gotten lucky.
