I generally take this in the light spirit that it was posted in. But too I think it needs to be understood that on mailing lists and also quite a few newsgroups HTML is strictly banned. I think this is just common courtesy, not only for bandwidth reasons, but also because there are quite a few people out there who read their mail without having a feature that strips html out of the text. Evolution allows me to read html messages, but the way they are formatted and presented is quite annoying. Straight text is much friendlier. --LX -- °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
