Alan,
Good for you. I didn't know what the tarnation was going on exactly,
but it was damned annoying. I'm also getting messages in HTML which
are even worse! My mail software doesn't display color but somehow I
was seeing red! Cut it out, you know who you are!
Another terrific opportunity to employ the K.I.S.S. principal.
Cheers,
