Subject: RE: Font Problems?
When setting up e-mail options, the rule of thumb should be that if you
don't *need* an option, don't use it. ANY e-mail client and any e-mail
server can handle plain-text. Things like HTML will confuse many clients
(and mjb's server may filter it out). When I get messges in HTML format,
they show up as attachments, which I have to call up my Web browser to
read. And nearly always, they turn out to be simple text - so I wasted
my time waiting to load them into the browser. Stick to plain-text.

[Yes, stick to plain text. I'm going to just start junking messages in
html format or that have clueless microsoft garbage attached on the end.
