You have limited control, on our lists it is text based ads at the bottom of each email but not images, not html. By setting the list to classic format and no html you get unobtrusive stuff most ignore. Our Dreamweaver group has something like 5600-5800 members so it works for us. Cheryl D Wise

I've been doing a lot more traveling the last couple of years. So I read and reply to email frequently on my mobile. Can't do that easily on f
