Dear Members,
 
I was wondering if anyone would have information on or know where I could find information on the populations of North and South Korea prior to the Korean War?  If this was broken down by province, it would even be better, but I realize that I may be asking for too much.
 
Thank you.
 
Best Regards,

Roland Wilson

> Then look for the section marked "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?."
> Set it to "MIME" to receive digests in MIME format (it is now set to PLAIN).

> FURTHER EXPMANATION:
> "MIME" controls whether a plain text format or one that allows other 
> MIME types is the default format being sent out by the list. MIME 
> stands for "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions" and is an Internet 
> standard that extends the format of email to support non-ASCII 
> characters, multi-part attachments, and non-text attachments. The list 
> DEFAULT was set to "PLAIN" and not MIME. So anyone who subscribed AND 
> choose "digest" format was automatically set to PLAIN. That made sense 
> when we first used Mailman sofware in the late 1990s, because many of 
> the more simple mail applications/programs did not yet understand 
> MIME. I have now changed this default to MIME (for new subscribers), 
> but I have NOT changed the setting for existing list subscribers ... 
> simply because I am not 100% sure that this is the only cause for the 
> problem, and because there may be some subscribers who have a reason 
> for this setting, and I do not want to just overwrite that.
