See my response to Paul on this thread, dated 4/21/05 3:27 PM, Message-Id: <200504211927.j3LJReR15649 at panix3.panix.com>. That one is actually more readable than the ones I usually get. I think that people usually use Microsoft Word to write their e-mail messages, with the responses noted in a different font, color or whatever. But since I don't let Microsoft Office anywhere near my e-mail, all I see is the text version -- with the responses neatly folded into the original text, nicely justified, and with nothing whatever to set them off. -- Steve Smith sgs at aginc dot net Agincourt Computing http://www.aginc.net "Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense."
