Thanks Ted. For some reason, the message George got, black on black, must have been a freak or something eh?

Thanks again.
Andy

Andy,
I use high contrast too, and you must send all outgoing emails in plain text.
Screen readers are not bothered, but sighted people cannot see a thing, with black on black!

Hi Trace.

My display is set on High Contrast number 2. I find all the other screens very bright ad quite painful, particularly after sitting in front of it for a while. However, I've been using this setting since 98.

Best wishes.
Andy

Hi George.

Am I still sending black on black messages mate? I've checked everything I know and don't understand why this could be happening.

Best wishes.

Andy

Hi Andy,

(I'd better say first that your HTML message came in as
black text on a black background.)

Yes, it does look like this is Sky's answer to Freeview.
However, at £150 flat fee, on the face of it, it appears to
be a good deal.

What's more, THEY come along and fit it all up, so if it
doesn't work, they cannot force you to pay - can they?

By the way, do you have a proper digital aerial?  When we
got our first digibox, we had to have the aerial replaced.

George.

Hi George.

Are you perhaps thinking of subscribing yourself?  Pauline
and I have been thinking of subscribing to Sky but it's the
£30 or there abouts a month that is stopping us.  Is Freenet
the same as Freeview only using a satellite disk?  We
purchased a Freeview box for £50 from Argos only to discover
that it didn't work in our area.  But it really would be
nice to have a few extra channels.  At the moment, we only
get 1,2, itv and 4.

Best wishes.
Andy
