Richard,

That's not quite right.

The digest pulls the text out, diplays it properly, then displays it again
with all the HTML crap.  I subscribe to both versions and for those who
still don't understand why all the bitching about HTML, I've copied part of
the digest on the bottom of this message.  Anything I've added is
highlighted w/ ***.

Tom,

HTML and RTF messages reproduce as unadulerated rubbish in the DIGEST
version
of the list, when read with current software and hardware.

The list software that accumulates the digest is not smart enough to put
plain
text versions of messages into the digest.

   I am not intimately familiar with the Carbon D-lite.
   (although I have flown a friends for just a minute)
   I have not compared the two airfoils,=20
   but I have looked close enough to know
   that they are not the same plane.
   The Carbon D-light is also an excellent plane.
