Hi Pete
When I first joined 'the list' I used Outlook... I just needed help to
get Arachne in control.
After a few weeks the listers asked me to switch off the HTML in
Outlook.
Outlook is generating two e-mail files (default?) a 'normal' one like we
use with Arachne and a HTML one in wich colors, bold and italics can be
used. The HTML mail is send as an attachment to the mail file and this
attachment can easily switched off in Outlook.
Many Outlook users are not aware they are sending their normal e-mail
and a HTML attachment as well... anyway I didn't [;-(
