(I believe Adobe have tools for maintaing PDF files which contain a scanned image for exact reproduction and a text version for cut and paste etc., but I imagine few people take the trouble to buy/use it.) Please only use plain text on public lists. Use of HTML or text/enriched causes its own accessibility problems. The latter is not understood by many GUI tools that actually understand HTML. (I can't recover the source to see how well it reads as plain text, but I suspect it is a bit better than typical HTML mail.) -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
