This one sounded like it was posted not from a stupid user but from a careful tester. If mailman has an intended appearance, it should cause that appearance to happen unless the user--in a browser which will--has refused to allow the site to override her local style sheet. Personally, I liked the old days, when the user's browser settings were allowed to control appearance details, and HTML described content. Of course, one could hardly hire out as a "designer" following that idea, so it didn't last long. --John (one of the few who remembers that the first T in HTTP stands for Text) -- John Baxter Port Ludlow, WA USA Always allow for the innate perversity of inanimate matter. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
