It's me again... and not PHP related. Why is it that every piece of mail I send to the list comes back as a *rich text" or sometime even "plain text", when my M$ Outlook is set to send HTML messages? It is always been the convention on mailing lists and newsgroups to post to it in plain text only. There are two reasons:
1. Some people will not be using html or rtf clients. 2. Someone pays for the disc storage space to archive them, so the fewer bytes the better. It is for this reason that snipping unnecessary parts of a previous posting when replying is considered good practice (OK, I'm not good at it). Short (or no) sig files too. Chris
