I can read the darn things if I want to use Netscape's newsreader, which I don't. I think many of them are from Internet Exploder (tm) users and folk using Netscape who don't see or don't properly answer Netscape's kind prompt asking if you want to send HTML ot text or both (I always say text-only, myself, when I happen to use their newsreader, which is seldom). Do be sure (as others here have said) to auto-reply advising them to change their habits, just to be polite about it. And thanks for the offer and for all your other efforts. ---------------------------------------------------- Peter J.
