Hi,
	I would actually argue that netiquette would indicate that people are
sending messages to a list, the message should be sent out as TEXT ONLY.
	Posting in HTML adds about 20% overhead over a text message, and
posting in both HTML and text places a 120% penalty as vs text.
	The fact is that bold and underline are not part of the conventions of
email, so you can go with plain text, with all caps to SHOUT.
	There is also the issue of Outlook quoting in a funny way, but that's a
later rant.
	To fix some of the behavior here some hints:
*	In netscape 4.x, edit>preferences>mail & newsgroups>formatting
	Select "Use plain text editor" and "Convert the message into plain
text.
*	In MS Outlook this should be under Tools>options>, and it should be in
	some place similar for Internet Explorer, which I never use, as it
gives
	me gas.

This is not the Dream.  This is what I do on weekends to have some fun.

The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.

Good luck Mr. Gorsky
