Greg's suggestions are based on formating that all E-mail readers can read, AND still allow the recepient to read the message. It's one more step in helping 'us' (the Unix crowd,) keep Microsoft from taking over the Internet. If you wish to receive HTML formated E-mail, feel free to do so. I for one get 1000+ messages a day that I read through PINE on 6 different computers. Any and all HTML formatted email messages get sent back with a nice header asking them to remove all HTML crap out of it if they wish a reply. Remeber... it's us against Microsoft... not us against us! Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
