Here, I think, is the point at which various posters' results diverge. I've never had anyone complain about my text/plain emails, but I've never had any need to write fancy stuff. Even Outlook seems incapable of badly damaging blocks of text, indented blocks of text, *emphasis*, _underscore/italics_, or lists. (Or else my correspondents are more tolerant than I'd thought they needed to be.) -- Mark H. Wood Lead Technology Analyst University Library Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis 755 W.
