You could change your character set to the windows one you keep seeing. But honestly, how often do those messages cross the list? I ask because I just don't see the character set thing often. Nor do I see a bunch of html tags. In my headers I see the following: Date From Reply-To To Subject All others are hidden unless I choose full headers (press h to toggle this). Since I am not as anal retentive as some I just keep it on the short list unless there is a reason to see more. Now really, is my setup taht unusual? I really do want to know. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
