The Microsoft mailers are set so that they default to formatted text, such as Rich Text Format and/or even Word! This "forces" people to use the Microsoft products, but also "de- standardizes" the Internet, which has always been based on straight ASCII text. The above is why I have always been a stickler about attachments, etc., as they are not readable by everyone. If anyone is using Outlook, Outlook Express, etc., PLEASE set the defaults so that only "Plain Text" is sent out. Pegasus Mail, BTW, is an excellent mailer (I am using it, also) and is free. It can be a little difficult to use, however, because it has some powerful features, but, for simple e-mailing, it is great. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A.
