Via Outlook, I just tried to send the following message, but again, it did not fly: I am sending this without the rich text (I created a Contact for mso and unchecked the box for "Always send to this recipient in Microsoft Exchange rich-text format"). So even with the Rich Text disabled, I'm barred from posting. I've got at least three more weeks to work this out (my AOL service expires next month). So I guess it's time to upgrade to Office 2000 --?? Sorry for the annoying attachments; certainly wasn't intending to send them.
