That's a very good question, MaryAnn... The standards for e-mail formatting decree that every message contains one copy of just the plain text and another complete copy of the same text with all the additional codes needed to give it the fancy formatting. So, roughly speaking, the formatted version bloats up to 1.5 to 2 times as big as the plain text version, and each formatted message contains one copy of each. If you set your mailer to use only plain text, then only that one copy gets sent, and you can easily transmit several times as much text. Fun, huh? Mike D.
