Sending HTML formatted email is considered being rude by most folks, and is generally discouraged. Its a dead giveaway that one is a windoze user (and nobody wants to admit to that, do they? ;) ). Most mailing lists (especially developer forums) explicitly forbid the use of HTML formatted messages because of the large number of people who don't (or won't) use GUI-based mail readers. However if you must, most browsers and email progs usually have a check-box in their message 'settings' or config menu that allows the user to choose between HTML and 'normal' email formats. Just be aware that many in the *nix world simply delete HTML formatted emails without reading them... peace- ron
