Sorry to take this to the list but I can't reach Lyn either because of
her Earthlink filter.
Lyn, I'm unsubscribing your from Arachne because having a one-way

stop and puzzle it out. It would be interesting to know what causes this
especially as I do not get it in any direct emails
I believe most of the funny marks happen because the messages you are
writing is in HTML or Rich Text.

Hi Lyn,
My problem with your mail is that as soon as you put a punctuation mark of
any kind in, it chops it immediately so I never get to see the whole of your

The CRB did a lot to help the unemployed lace makers in Belgium. Many
