Darrin,

If I find it hard to read a mail I will not bother so the sender loses out 
on a possible set of eyes that could fix the problem etc. There was a 
response to this mail that included all of it and the previous posts and 
added 2-3 lines saying they wanted to make a html stripper to strip out 
html! We all had to learn sometime so why should new mailing list users 
not have to? I have mailed this list a a few times saying please use 
proper ettiquette and it works for a few posts and then descends to free 
for all posting again.
