Welcome! This is the electronic "Dragon's Tongue".
Often called "the DT", this is an electronic mailing list, an unofficial e-publication donated for the use of the populace of the Dragon's Mist branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism.*
*(A non-profit medieval and renaissance recreational association devoted to furthering the understanding of that important part of European history.)
Dragon's Mist serves the Washington County area of the Portland Metro area of Oregon, and anyone else who considers themselves a "friend of DM".
(Don't worry, we have permission from Dragon's Mist to use the newsletter title "Dragon's Tongue", and have had for many years.)
This mailing list started as an area on a local BBS (Bulletin Board System) which has now been converted to host people subscribing from their own ISPs.
This is a true email mailing list, and will NOT duplicate the printed copy of the "DT", except for the occasional event copy, and otherwise as requested on a case-by-case basis. The Dragon's Tongue newsletter always takes precedence, and to which I strongly urge ALL of you to subscribe. The print Dragon's tongue is the only official newsletter and publication of record. Officer reports are encouraged, but not required.
Accept no substitutes, we don't pretend to perform the same service AT ALL.
You may also leave me email at the address listed below (under General) I hope we will serve you all well, and this will prove unnecessary advice.
If you have any questions or problems, please leave me mail, and I will either respond or pass it to Erik if the answer is beyond me.
Now... Go forth and enjoy thyself!

If you are using MSN or hotmail, messages from the list will wind up in your "Junk" folder. This is because the "To:" address of all messages from the list is the list address. This is done so your replies will go to the list.
You will have to find a message from the list in your Junk folder and mark it as "Not Junk". Then when asked choose to add the *list* to your list of mailing lists. Otherwise, you'll never see messages from the list.

Those of you typing in from Windows: Please, out of consideration for those who are not using a Windows program, do not include attachments, HTML versions of the text, or graphic files. It is possible to turn these "off", ask for help from your ISP if you need it. Plain ASCII text is best because then -everyone- can read it. Many non-Windows mailreaders cannot see the "fancy" stuff, or see it as a bunch of non-text characters or perhaps interspersed with many, many lines of command texts. Unreadable.
Visit this URL for instructions in how to set your email to plain text format. As well as an explanation of why you should.
Configuring Mail Clients to Send Plain ASCII TextPlease do not send in ALL CAPITALS. This is equivalent to shouting at us. It's not nice to shout... ;-> Look for your Caps Lock key, and see if it is toggled "on".
Please unsubscribe from the old address when you change email addresses. Mail sent out to no longer active addresses gets sent back to the list-owner address and and has to be dealt with manually.
Thank you for your consideration!
