And avoid HTML, PLEASE!!!!
Otherwise 3/4ths of a post is junk, and it
is often difficult to sort out the "real"
text lines from the HTML...
(Not to mention the ubiquitous "This is a
multi-part message in MIME format", or some
such - best to use simple text only, with
NO photos included in the posts [not a
problem here, but in the local NGs, it
is...;-])
THANKS!
