Hello Susanne: Thanks for the information, it gave me an idea.
I have made changes to the list which I hope will prevent ALL html/rtf types of messages from being posted. Actually, html messages will be posted but they will be posted as plain text. This means that there will no longer be fancy graphics and pretty backgrounds in any OTnow postings but there should also not be any of the attachments. Thanks to everyone who has provided input and feedback on this problem, Ron =============================================================== On 11/2/2003,[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: c> Here it's like this ( - and I'm using Windows and c> Outlook Express): c> Not all posts show up with an attachment - but a c> lot.
