Hi ann, messed around with some settings which seemed like they should fix the problem which you are describing, namely those found under the send tab of tools, options, in Ms Outlook Express. Particularly the plane text settings buttons. Not sure if this will help or not. If it becomes overly annoying and I will compose mail to the list from a shell environment using Mut, Pine, Elm, or another Unix/Linux style mail client despit ethe fact I don't have my own box set up yet.

Is there any way you can send in plain text? Ann P. -- Ann K. Parsons email: akp at eznet.net ICQ Number: 33006854 WEB SITE: http://home.eznet.net/~akp "All that is gold does not glitter.
