Hi Kris,
I had "Do Not Convert to HTML" checked since about 1999 (IIRC).
This seemed=
 to=20
only apply to my send format not my receive format. I still had to go to ea=
ch=20
and every one of my 61 groups to change to "traditional" mode to receive=20
messages as I always have. Then it took about 6-8 hours to apply to all my=
=20
messages. All is back to normal now.
