in re/ "Latest 100 Messages"

a number of people are reading marxmail at the  "Latest 100 messages from Marxism list" website. due to changes i made (to the code that generates the Latest 100)  in the last couple days, not everyone's email to marxmail has been reflected on the Latest 100 site. i've just fine-tuned those changes so this should no longer happen.

if for some reason you notice an email you sent to marxmail did not make it to the Latest 100, please let me know and i will continue fine-tuning.

for those of you that have grown accustomed to reading the Latest 100, know that you can get nearly the same result by browsing to https://groups.io/g/marxmail/topics

Just a few comments on this. I do love the new composition page with the ability to format text and so on. This is literally taking the list from the 1990s to the 2020s. So thanks for that. But the listing of messages IMO sucks...the use of the first line(s) of the message is a complete waste of screen space. That is why the http://marxmail.org/maillist.html is so valuable. I can quickly review the last set of messages by title for the entire day or two. The new listing is extremely annoying and I can only view about a subject titles. So the way it is now is perfect. I can use both quite easily.

fair enough. for me, the first line gives me a sense of the article, is it just a link, is it a repost of something else, is somebody making a point. i love it.

in any case, Lou feels many people have grown used to and appreciate the Latest 100, so it aint goin away.

Thank you for letting me know that the "Latest 100" list is still available. I thought it was lost, but I have now changed my Bookmark. Much better!
