One day it worked fine, then I would get 48 hours of "oops" messages. Then they'd cache my mail for a couple days and all of a sudden I'd have 200 new pdml messages. I think those problems are, more or less, in the past, but they managed to fix that crap after I gave up.
Otherwise, "Outgoing message encoding" needs to be set to "use default text encoding..." and there should be a link for "Rich formatting" just below the "attach file" link when you're composing a message. If you see a bunch of silly formatting buttons followed by a "plain text" link, click where it says "plain text". -- Scott Loveless New Cumberland, PA http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
