As long as we are on the topic, I have another pet peeve. Please do not
hit the <ENTER> key when you are composing your email with Netscape
(other than to start a new paragraph, of course!). If you hit <ENTER>
at the end of each line, then when the message is displayed in Netscape
it will break your lines twice, usually giving one or two words on every
other line. This makes some posts almost unreadable.
