Well, usually I don't bother and just throw them away (because there are just too many posts waiting to check them all for actual content unless I check them 5 times a day or more, which is simply impossible for me on most days).

In the mean time please stick to plain text ;) Hugs, Wynke. _______________________________________________ MSX mailing list ([email protected]) Info page: http://lists.stack.nl/mailman/listinfo/msx
