I suppose Bernie (hi ;-) was a bit harsh on you ... however :
You didn't know _this_list_ doesn't like HTML ???
FYI, *none* of the lists I have been involved with likes HTML !
Indeed, my impression is that *no* list likes HTML. I'll have to
re-read the netiquette RFQ some day, but IIRC, this too said
you should not send HTML to lists (?).
Enough said.
Joe.
