Bill, The danger that you run when excluding mail from a particular mail client, as you put lookout excuse, is that you may miss mail from people trying to contact you for a valid reason. I am certain that I am for one not the only member of the list that uses such a mail client, because that is the corporate standard for email. So, is what you are saying is that you don't wish to receive email from members of the list like myself? If this is the recurring debate about html messages popping up once again, then I suggest looking at a package called MailScanner. MailScanner is a spam detection tool, that as one of its many strengths, it has the ability of converting html messages to plain text before mail is put in your mailbox. As a final note to those who believe that MS mail clients are the only means of sending html mail messages, then I say give your heads a good shake, wake up and smell the coffee. In fact, I subscribe to a maillist that is all about linux and open source, where you can have the messages sent to you in html format. Well, there is my input on the matter! 73 VE6AYT Steve Dawes PH: (403) 268-5527.
