Hi Ruth, Congratulations on your success in turning off html! Sorry you are still having problems. I feel a bit guilty since I was the one who instigated all these problems in the first place, but maybe Hotmail is not used to handling plain ascii. If you are interested, I have had very good luck with Yahoo mail - http://mail.yahoo.com/ They keep trying to get you to use their "new, improved" format, which of course includes html. I simply turn it off. That gets rid of a huge amount of crud and advertising. But the account wasn't active for a week before I started getting a bit of spam. They dump it in a separate file so it's no problem, but I find it strange that a spambot could find the address so quickly when it was never used. Anyway, Yahoo Mail seems to have their act together much better than Hotmail. You could use Yahoo for the times when you'd like to use ascii, so you wouldn't have to ask all your friends to change their address book. Also, once in a while Hotmail goes down and nobody can send or receive email. Sympatico in Canada switched over to Microsoft, and we had problems ever since. That's the reason I quit sympatico after many years. If you had a Yahoo account as backup, you could still send and receive messages. That's what my account is for - just a way to get out when something goes wrong with the normal methods. But now you are an expert, so you can try these things with confidence:) Regards, Mike Monett Antiviral Antibacterial Silver Solution: http://silversol.freewebpage.org/index.htm SPICE Analysis of Crystal Oscillators: http://silversol.freewebpage.org/spice/xtal/clapp.htm Noise-Rejecting Wideband Sampler: http://www3.sympatico.ca/add.automation/sampler/intro.htm -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
