True enough. However, the difference is that with HTML, the layout depends entirely on the browser. However, mail programs usually don't relayout the messages (actually at home I use Eudora and it does rewrap the lines). Anyway, it's really just a minor thing that's why I put it in parentheses. If this were HTML I would have also put <SMALL CLASS=Very> around it (in hindsight I should have done that anyway). So let's not waste any more bandwidth on this. Marcus -- Marcus E.
