There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.
21.08.21 Dare Ms. Coco Muchmore, ...If one is in the game-- then, "posting a comment" is the same as "tagging someone". Of course, sometimes one feels the need to tag someone twice in order to declare that they are in fact "it." I think Mister de Culla is saying something somewhat similar. SinCelery, Richard Canard
I am frustratec. I have added many photos to my groups. I have spent an hour today and can't remember how to do it. I go to the icon above for photos but I can't get to photos on my fire tablet. I can get to camera but when I take a picture I can't attach it.
I saw a mail art call recently that was something like "Words and Images, Images and Words" but I lost track of the address. Anyone know anything about that call?
I got this 26 August and was preparing to respond but do not know who sent it. Valdor? It appears to be a response to a submission of mine but I am not able to recall one.
in response to the question on how to post a picture to a group I've done it here. put cursor inside the message window and then click on the icon for 'add image'.
I saw something here (in IUOMA) about "Train Art mail" and would like some information about it. Unfortunately, I can't find my way back to where I saw it to begin with!
Wow, I totally missed that mail art call so thanks for posting the link to the book by Paulo Teles, William M. That is just wonderful. I love how he created that book.
If you think they may be on IUOMA, go to the 'Mail Artists Profiles' tab at the top of this page, choose 'Overview All Members' then 'Advanced Search' and select Romania. There are 33 on the list to choose from.
Dame Mailarta, Dorian passed away on November 26, 2021.
Nota de falecimento: senhor Dórian Esteves Ribas Marinho
26 Novembro 2021 | 09h26min
O Poder Judiciário de Santa Catarina, com pesar, comunica o falecimento do senhor Dórian Esteves Ribas Marinho, pai da juíza Cláudia Ribas Marinho, atual titular da Vara de Execuções Penais da comarca de Itajaí. O óbito ocorreu em Balneário Camboriú. O pai da magistrada era advogado e foi, por muitos anos, presidente da Comissão de Direitos Humanos da OAB.
The Judiciary of Santa Catarina, with regret, communicates the death of Mr. Dórian Esteves Ribas Marinho, father of Judge Cláudia Ribas Marinho, current holder of the Court of Criminal Executions of the district of Itajaí. The death occurred in Balneário Camboriú. The magistrate's father was a lawyer and was, for many years, president of the OAB Human Rights Commission.
I've stopped receiving email notifications when I get messages, comments, or replies even those boxes are checked in my Settings. How can I correct this?
Good question Carl! It's definitely a coding quirk that shoulda been fixed a long time ago. Character translation/rendering is not that hard nowadays. Using a common character as a reserved delimiter or other function should be a thing of the past (waayy past).
Margaret, you send him a rubber stamped image (I usually stamp one on a postcard and write in ball point pen with an arrow pointing at it "for braincell"). Once he has enough he sends out a braincell and every participant gets a copy. You can participate by sending stickers as well - but unlike with rubber stamped images there's a number required for stickers and I forget just what that number is.
When I’m uploading photos they will upload on the wrong orientation. The original will be correct/vertical and they upload horizontally no matter the size and I can’t flip them. Is there a fix I’m missing?
Hi all, Posting herewith the theme list for the next 6 months of International Mail Art exhibition at White Sanctum Art Gallery in Bangalore, India.

Another possibility is to look at your browser's history and search it for the words such as "train art mail"
