I then had to insert "paragraph breaks" by hitting the "enter" key twice (when I wanted a blank line to appear) while moving my cursor thru the text. I will never understand all this text formatting stuff. The (.....) marks are from the original Email - the NWS sends them for some unknown reason) (Dear Royal Imperial National Weather Service - would it be possible to reschedule this storm for July or August? - no particular date - maybe on 1 of the 100 degree days - or when a Hurricane is coming - yeah - that would be good - lets have 1 foot of snow before a Hurricane arrives - thank you very much) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
