Troth....... Let me add a clarification. When Poco sends a message "styled", it really sends it as an HTML. Doing so allows styled letters (bold, different fonts, emoticon symbols, etc.) as well as stationary. etc. Freelists won't allow anything but text messages so when it receives a "styled" message, it converts it to text. When that happens, certain attributes of the original message are converted to symbols like the "=" sign. The same, exact thing happens with Incredimail - hence all the extraneous characters when we receive a post on Freelists from Incredimail. The good thing is Poco will allow you to send both styled & text messages at once.....you aren't even aware of it once you set it. Then those who can receive styled see styled......and freelists and strictly text programs see the proper message in text.
