(How are you typing "  " and what does it mean?  It may not
display the same in all email programs, but I see it as a VERY
thin "HTML looking" vertical line, much thinner than any
vertical letters like "i" or the left side of "D", etc.  I
just
pasted it from your email to that area above between the
quotes).

>From Ann
Harold's email had squares (see below) instead of vertical
lines on my computer. I saw no vertical lines such as you
described. Wonder why the squares are there. Ann 

{ just follow the links........4.79  the reason}

Response
I don't use Outlook Express. Like with NS 4.79, I'm also very
accustomed to, and comfortable with, its default email program
(it serves all my purposes). I like that convenient email icon
in NS's right side of the status bar. Maybe I'll eventually
give OE a try. I'm beginning to appreciate the genius of Alvin
Toffler "Future Shock" ... keeping up with everything is a
b-tch.

I've seen those same squares and vertical lines in many of my
postings and could never figure out the reason. A clear
example from this last posting was where I typed in <font> ...
</font> (that's <font> space, three dots, space </font>), and
it showed up as <font>  </font>.

It has to do with those three dots (ellipsis). Something there
is changing into those squares. And I've sometimes seen when
copy/pasting, they become vertical lines. Now I'm going to pay
more attention to the occurrences and will be reporting back
to ye'all.

What I recently started doing is avoiding the ellipsis and use
a hyphen as we see below:

That's strange. I still see them as vertical lines below, and
you're using OE as well. Could be the type of default reading
font you use. So Harold, what does that mean? :-) Clint

"So Harold, what does that mean?" After giving it considerable
thought, it means that wherever you are, eventually (let's
hope when you are 120) you'll be going in either one of two
directions :-) Harold
