Nigel,
Please do not send HTML content. Please do configure your mailer to send
plain text. It's annoying to get this funcky stuff.
Please understand that this is annoying, frustrating, ...
This is an open list, with people using many different OSes and mailers.
So don't use things that are only usable in a restricted area, such as that
of silly windows users:)
It's unfortunate that this question, though we talked about many times, is
still
here to annoy us...
kind regards,
mouss
