Rich, I don't use html the point is if I put an angle bracket into my email then something, somewhere, may even be Hotmail, decides for itself that it is html and strips it.
To clarify what I am saying, I will use "[" and "]" instead of the respective angle brackets; so it is listed as "England], [Not Westmorland" in the Location List.
