Agreed.  But then how do you reply-and-quote to an email that someone else 
*did* post in HTML format?  Outlook just sucks in this scenario... you 
can't even convert to plain-text and quote!  !@#$%^^&* microsoft...

Not quite this far OT, usually.  And it appears to be mostly my fault this 
time :-(

The list isn't usually this busy, either.

FYI, on the occasion that you post a question and get *no* replies - 
that's a solid indicator that no-one here knows the answer.  This list 
doesn't generally see any negative responses, and that confuses some 
people at first.  Re-post after about a week, and if that goes nowhere ask 
on the forum as well.

Sorry for making your introduction to the list a bit hectic,
