Re: [List Admin] Posting In HTML

Good job Brett.  I know not everyone is lucky enough to understand every
aspect of their e-mail client, soooo if you are having problems switching
over to "plain text" e-mail, please e-mail me privately and I will help get
you sorted.  If anyone is using AOL and can not change the settings then the
only alternative to you would be a web-based e-mail account
(ie.hotmail/excite/yahoo/etcc...).  Thanx a ton Brett for doing this, I
think it is the only thing that makes sense.  We are backing you full out.
Keep up the top notch job in maintaining this list.

I would like to make a toast to mr. VanSprewenburg...
