Uh.  Keith.  I asked you how to un-HTML a message I was trying to forward
and when you didn't reply, I just gave up.

Candy

Keith, I, too, have difficulties with non-HTML, as when I am corresponding
with clients I need it on for my mail to look right.  As I now understand
it, I may leave my HTML on and uou will filter it, correct?  And if I do so,
will it be posted real time, or do we have to wait for you to go through all
the messages individually? (Which will be an inconvenience as well, but...)
