Dear George & Heather Would appear you have your email program set on rich text/HTLM Should always on plain text for email . You sent one to Frank CARDIFF . He uses a Mac computer and this cant read emails sent in HTML , PCs can but it makes replying more difficult . If I get any email set on HTML I change the reply format otherwise the font size can change it looks messy bye Marg Morters Central Coast Family History Society GOSFORD NSW Australia So would you like to try again ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Cardiff" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: 20 January 2001 16:58 Subject: Misdirected query > Apologies to Kay and Ken but I addressed this to CCFHS -g no wonder it > hasn't appeared. > > To Mar and List > > Some of you know why some of us SCREAM about getting messages in HTML. > > I have just received an email which was all gobbledegook as it was from > Outlook Express on a PC to my Eudora on a Macintosh.
