There wouldn't be any way to stop someone from going through list archives and boards and manually gathering addresses but that is unlikely for a bigtime spammer as it would be very time consuming. This sounds as if it is genealogy-oriented and there are probably many genealogy sites on the Net where your address could have been harvested. Joan

    3. Thanks to all you fine people for your suggestions. You seem to have solved my "Insufficient memory" problem. I downloaded "Note Tab Light" (free) and it accepted the document I had been working on. The culprit does indeed seem to be an anemic NotePad. Thanks a bunch. Jo

Any suggestions? Because Word for Windows creates extremely bloated HTML, it's possible that the HTML file you're attempting to work with is too big for Notepad to handle. WordPad is designed to manage much larger files by only loading portions of it into memory at a time. Regards, Elsi

Anything you attempt to enter that goes beyond 30K gives the error "insufficient memory to complete this operation." It doesn't matter whether you're using a streamlined or bloated version of HTML - it's the total K of your web page. I downloaded and use Editpad (free) which allows any amount of text and have not had a problem since. It's the limitations of Notepad that is the culprit here. Nel

    3. I had same problem before. the problem is fragmented hard drive. You need to defrag (optimize) the hard drive to recover lots of empty sectors. If you have Norton Systemworks, it will do better job than Windows ME (200).

    2. Lynn
    3. John, There is one way I can think of quickly to fix your problem. If you wish, use "&nbsp;" (without the quotes) for EACH space between the period and the number. This should work. The &nbsp; stands for non-breaking space. Some browsers will not like using so many in a row, and they may not display the leading periods correctly either. Is there a reason to use the leading periods? I think it would look fine without them. Just my humble opinion.
