Hi all, Jim, Jim, Jim, I appreciate your rant, really I do, but it's a losing battle. most Windows users don't give a fig about how their email comes out. They don't have any idea what you mean by mime or HTML. I've just gotten to the point where if I see an HTML message, I delete it unless it's something really, really important, and then I forward it over to my Windows box. Don't stress, it isn't worth it. Ann P. -- Ann K. Parsons email: akp@xxxxxxxxx WEB SITE: http://home.eznet.net/~akp Skype: Putertutor "All that is gold does not glitter.
