Ringwood East, Vic.3135 Australia. > Good evening Ken Plain text (no colour, no font, no underline, no bold, no italics, no HTML, no graphics) has ALWAYS been the case with Rootsweb. "Dexter" (mainframe computer) cannot cope with anything other than plain text. When you see things like =20 etc, this means that someone has posted something that has not been as requested. Every now and then "Dexter" gets a 'belly ache' ... be doesn't always like something as simple as quotation marks (probably won't like those I used) this will appear as something like as&bp or some such. To the best of my knowledge there has been no changes to Rootsweb, however, that is not to say there hasn't. Please remember Rootsweb mailing lists are only designed for PLAIN TEXT and NO attachments. Bright Blessings Sandie List Administrator
