Well, for one thing it would have communicated the italics you implied in that last sentence to me since I have configured Apple Mail to always display the plain text alternative. ;-) There are many people who disable HTML rendering in their email applications. HTML is doing almost as good a job as spam of making email unusable. /Roger -- http://www.456bereastreet.com/
