Einstein,
Well, for me the fonts you refer to are not readable. I only see the
(very short lines) of text, twice. Once plainly, once embedded in
<HTML> ... </HTML> brackets.
For the record, I access the newsgroup using FreeAgent under Win95,
with a PPP connection via an independant ISP.
It's a good idea *not* to use HTML in usenet groups that are not
specifically devoted to HTML topics. It tends to upset people who
prefer text-only communications. And it even begins to annoy
ordinarily easygoing folk when they have to wait twice as long to read
messages, because there is twice as much text to download, half of it
embedded in useless (for their newsreader) html coding.
