It's good to know when people have problems, because I didn't have any problem reading Allan's message. My browser treated the HTML as in the message body, rather than as an attachment, and simply ignored all the formatting. The only indication I got that was something was funny was a sprinkling of odd characters ("Ý") throughout the message. Please try to send only plain-text messages to the list, without attachments. It's bad enough that the current version of Eudora doesn't automatically line-wrap outgoing messages anymore; we don't need other encoding methods that may not work with all email clients. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
