I personally find the absence of a list-name prefix, something simple like [ooo-users], to be a problem. First, if folks BCC the list, it is a problem. And when getting cross-postings among lists that don't prefix, that is another problem. And there are some peculiar situations where a messa

Just a guess, but some image formats (like jpeg) don't support transparency. Perhaps the transparency function is automatically disabled. Try converting to a format that supports transparency before inserting the image. (.png and .gif support transparency, among others) -Cheers On Wed, Jan 4, 201
