Hello,

I can see your messages as you intend them, becasue I am using Netscape
Communicator.  The files are still being downloaded, I just don't see
that as attachments as the others do.  Many people on this list will
argue that email should not be sent in Html format, therefore not having
an email program that will not handle html is not a problem.  The person
sending html email is the problem.  This being a mailing list for
Survpcs I certainly wouldn't argure with that, since html email is
fairly new.

Suggesting that someone update there mail program might make some of
them upset too :-)
