Sorry Michael, I'd have been happy to leave names out of it. To look on the bright side though, it only annoys me
because I'm interested in what you have to say.

The problem seems to compound when other people respond to your mail - fonts change, colors change, column widths
change. This certainly doesn't merit a long thread, but if people have no reason to send HTML, I for one would
appreciate if they didn't. I don't have so much time or energy to spend on email that I can afford to labour over a
posting, no matter how interesting.
