Tom, I am on several mailing lists and they are all getting complaints on the red backgrounds-just in the last week or so. Maybe it is something aol is doing. Seems like most of them (if not all) are aol users.

If you must use a colored background, please use light yellow. It shows up much better and is much easier to read. Tom King, Sr.
