Hi, Janice and others: I have included below the information Bob Fink sent to help members who are sending attachments. Please follow these instructions to make sure the list is readable to all members. Thanks. :) Barb Please, please, please do NOT post messages to the list as attachments. Many, if not most, of our members cannot access these attachments, so their contents are not read, their questions not answered. These attachments unnecessarily increase the size of the digest to the point where some members' service providers reject the entire digest which means, of course, that those members miss out on the entire day's messages because of one or more members' lack of consideration. Please use your email's 'help' feature or ask someone for help in changing your settings to eliminate using the attachment option. Here's how to get rid of the special formatting for Outlook Express which can cause mail crashes on some computers. The reason why this happens is that some computers don't understand the RTF(Rich Text Format) which on Outlook Express is the same as HTML (hypertext markup language). Rather than lose this information, it gets turned into an attachment. To disable this feature on Outlook Express, go to TOOLS, then OPTION, then SEND. Once there, change the format to PLAIN TEXT. That should do it. If you want to send fancy fonts, etc., to someone else not on Parkinsn, just do the same thing, and change it back into HTML. I hope this helps. =========================================================================== Barbara Patterson [log in to unmask] HSC 2J22 905-525-9140, ext. 22403 School of Nursing ===========================================================================
