Thanks a lot. Note that the list admin's weekly announcements clearly state

| f)   Please send your messages in plain-text only.  HTML and
| similar codings are NOT looked on with favor by the undersigned!

I am actually on a Mac, as the mail headers will tell you -- it relates to
current Apple models like the Contax II relates to the Cosina made "Zeiss
Ikon" rangefinder. In both cases the parents deny knowledge of their older
child.  ;)

So, it's not a PC versus Mac thing -- basically, HTML mail will not render
correctly on any but a same-generation mail client. As an example, Eudora
6.2.4 will spit out a full page of CSS crap in front of the content for any
Mathworks mail, because its HTML renderer does not grok CSS. Worse,
obviously, for Eudora 3.1 here on my Quadra 840 AV.
