Most list servers FAQ specify plain text mail. It is universally readable.
I am at this minute using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 to do web mail using
Netscape. In the options, I am able to select plain text for any selected address in
my address book, or as the default for all addresses.
If you are using Outlook Express, the NAME tab for a contact in the address book has a
tick box on the bottom left to send mail to the address as plain text only.
All I do when Razzak's gobbledy-gook shows up is [Del].
My pet peeve has more to do with the good Dr. R> adding "razzak's reply" to the
message header, destroying the thread link. Hey Dr R>?????
