Hi, y'all, It often happens that when folks send e-mail messages, the html equivalent of the message is appended to the message. The html part is actually longer than the message itself. This waste, and it is waste when unintended, causes problems. 1) It adds to the required bandwidth on the net. 2) It adds to the required space on one's hard drive for the recipient to save the message. 3) It thus encourages the recipient to delete the message. To learn how to avoid these problems, see <http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/html-off.html> Fortuntely, the rootsweb servers do not forward the html, at least not in the digest mode.
