However it is not particularly safe, as some browsers parse SGML comments incorrectly. Also the comments are unsafe because they use strings of hyphens. Each -- toggles comment status on and off, so you have to be very careful to get the right number (also an area where many browsers don't obey the rules). > 3)please don't send attachments to a list, the URL would have sufficed > And the screen shots should have been GIF or PNG; this is a case where JPEG produces larger files and the JPEG artefacts can be a real problem. NB HTML is not a page description language; you shouldn't be surprised if some browsers even speak your page and shouldn't expect exactly the same format; use PDF if you want precise formatting.
