Not to single you out Jeremy, there's a lot of newbies posting in
HTML lately. So I'll remind y'all of the email you were sent when you
joined this list (and similar rules for most all lists since email
began):
"Welcome to the newbie List.
========================
You have just subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please read this e-mail, and keep it for a future reference.
<snip>
* Please, try to keep the folowing general rules in mind before posting:
1) Use straight ASCII (TXT) format."
=====================================
No.1 rule, html (and M$'s rtf) is for webpages, never for email.
It's a matter of Netiquette, always has been even since the days of
BBS's before the Net got popular. HTML might'a looked great on your
monitor with MickeyMou$e Outlook Express, but it almost certainly
doesn't on most everybody elses's.
