Hi, Prof. Whatever we would like you to pleae fill in this form so you can get paid <http://www.getpaid.univ.edu> otherwise the only reason to use html is by spammers where the spammer has embedded in the html code, or the embedded link(s), validation of the email address to which it was sent; for use in future spam and for reselling the valid email address to other spammers. You claim that your Univ. uses html mail - what can they possibly be placing in the mail that *require* html? At some point in hte prcess there is plain text - I have found that any legitimate email users (such as vendor 'special' email lists) which try to use html will have a plain text option. Have you asked the univ. to send you plain text? Does your university also require that you use Fed Ex to deliver a simple memo such as: 'I will not be in the office today'?? someone somewhere is NOT on the ball - as setting up (so it actually works) html is far more difficult and time consuming than plain text ------------------- Chip Scheide Systems Coordinator Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh "And as a man, who is attached to a prostitute, is unfitted to choose or judge of a wife, so any prepossession in favour of a rotten constitution of government will disable us from discerning a good one."
