Might I add to those that use gmail (my genealogy email is from the gmail server) that there are instructions on gmail how to set up your email client to retrieve those emails. My email client is Windows Live Mail and I have no problem setting up this group email to send only plain-text). And may I add that my main email account is on hotmail and also have set up my email client to download those messages also. Russ

I can also set it so that for another address messages go as HTML. Any web-based mail program/service (Gmail) wants you to use HTML almost exclusively and makes it awkward to do otherwise. I have a gmail address but I don't use Gmail via any browser. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
