It is about display anomalies in relatively recent messages on this list
which is supposed to be exclusively plain text - specifically those that do
not display as plain text in the recipient's mail client to display in a
width and font other than those set in the client's preferences. I started
it by querying the format which overrides my prefs so I guess you would call
it technical support. I didn't know that you could use rich text for email -
only plain or html - I learn something new everyday.....but now I need a new
client to do rich text.....I am not much wiser but I am content for the
thread to pass away without mourners.

Aaahh - right. Ditto - I'm an oldster too - 60 - I wonder what the
average age of the list is? - I suppose low end mac is a little long in the
tooth now...but that's perhaps chatting though I may plead the lesser charge
of debating - and I think chatting is verboten on the list - brings out the
bandwidth brownshirts with their upper case weapons and exclamation mark
machine guns.....given that analogy I suppose an illuminated drop cap would
be a nuke. Fatuous use of the font's capabilities rather then the
capabilities of the language in my opinion.
