I would suggest that all concerned visit the XyWrite list's Welcome page, at http://users.datarealm.com/ammaze/xylist. Scroll down to the sentence that reads: "Important: Configure your mail program to send messages in plain text (no HTML, no attachments)." Click on the "plain text" link in that sentence. That brings you to a page with the relevant instructions for major mail programs. Equally important, it explains *why* plain-text messages are much preferred in mailing lists and newsgroups. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxx http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/
