Those of you who are doing this probably do not realize what you are doing because your mailer (probably Outlook) is set to do this by default. PLEASE, re-set your mailer (Options/Sending) so that you "Send Plain Text Only". It is bad enough for a short message like the above; when the messages are longer, it can take a half-dozen pages of code. I will not read these messages (after the first one), nor will I be available to answer them. I just don't have time to wade through them. They are easily eliminated as above. Please have some consideration. Best, Bob *********************************** ROBERT A. FINK, M. D., F.A.C.S.
