From: Gary Britt This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------080607070206020601080506 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Ellen, Just saw this message and John's. I like the ability to format messages with different effects that aren't possible in plain text, but from your quoteback below it looks like the html is coming through pretty crappy on some newsreaders setup to read text only. Should I switch back to text only newsgroup postings?
