Hi R-Gang Cousins, Just testing the new mail list and announcing a recent post I received from RootsWeb. RootsWeb has announced that they are in the final stages of testing a SmartList hack that will block file attachments (including VCards), HTML messages and enriched text postings. To find out how to "Turn Off HTML or RTF in Various E-mail Programs," check the following website: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm Programs included are: Eudora Pro, Netscape Communicator, Outlook Express, and Outlook 98. It also parovides some definitions of terms like ASCII, HTML, MIME, etc. Hope everyone gets this message as well as the welcome message from the mail list. All the best, Celia
