I stand chastised and have changed my default settings from HTML to
text....didn't know my mailer was using HTML....I apologize to the group for
any inconvenience...
I am a neophyte at all of this...what is a MUA....
and secondly, you are telling me that if I send an email to my customer list
of 2000 people, every email is going to carry the addresses of every person
in the group... bloating a 1500bit message to over 60,000 bits because of
the addresses....
and there is no email program that does it differently?
Am I understanding you correctly?
Thanks for the help.
Edward Taylor
