Simon,
Nope, the problem is that I'm not sending messages the way I thought I
was.

Olin,
Agreed 100%. I had no idea that I *wasn't* sending plain text until
you pointed it out to me. (And I'm still not, unfortunately.) I
haven't been able to find an option setting to send plain text so I've
sent off a query to Forte tech-support to see what recommendations
they might have. I'd certainly prefer that my posts be as convenient
as possible for as many people on the list as I can. Plain text just
makes common sense to use.

Yep, I was and it certainly is. Thanks again.
