It also means that you'll see messages indicating that formatting and attachments have been stripped from messages. If you see the message on your posts, consider turning off HTML mail if you're not one of those poor AOL 6.0 users who can't. :-) Smoe also mentioned an awareness of demand for searchable list archives, but they do not currently have the disk capacity to handle that endeavor. It is a service they hope to provide in the future. - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ------------------------------ End of dads-yard-digest V2 #105 *******************************
