Sherry: Sure. I'm no computer whiz, so this will be pretty basic. When creating your message you need to choose Plain Text instead of HTML. That choice should be in a drop-down box at the top of your e-mail screen. Plain Text will give you a totally boring result like this one instead of a "personalized" font.
Trimming your post means to delete non-essential messages from the bottom as well as deleting the Legacy tag lines that get automatically added to every message. We do this because some list members are on dial-up, and both HTML and repeated tag lines slow their download time and increase their costs. Note that I'm trimming earlier messages from this response because only your most recent is pertinent. Most of us forget the rules from time to time, and then eventually someone explodes. Don't want that to happen to a newbie <G>.

This is the first time I've ever been part of a user group. Can you help me to learn how to do this? I've been using my reply icon at the top of the message, typing my stuff, and sending it.
