Still confused. I have my ie5 e mailer set up to send all messages in rich
text and send e mails to the rest of the world normally in Tahoma 14pt but
in any of Microsoft's fancy Office 2000 scripts that take my fancy according
to the subject of the letter. If I try to do that on Mil Veh, i immediately
receive a 'bounce' message telling me the list only accepts messages in
plain text. Arthur has clearly and wisely configured his server to handle
only plain text messages because they generate the quickest downloads.
Unless the Russians are reading my mail and then wrongly re encrypting it
when sending it on, Bryan knows something which I don't. What we need here
is the Jim Gilmore of the digital world to quote chapter and verse from some
obscure computer manual. Do they have Ord-9s for those????
