While I was glad to see other users respond I'm still not getting through to the one who's suddenly decided to change the format of digests. I do agree that MS stuff should be avoided and I've been doing so successfully until this unwanted development. I've discovered that I can read the .eml format in Opera Mail but that means I have to export the offending digests to another folder and then activate Opera to read them which is all time consuming. My olr is Ameol which is proprietary to cix.co.uk (my ISP)is designed for Text files only - no chance of viruses! Please at least can anyone here say if the non-digests are also sent as .eml? If not I could change? Regards, Peter in SW London Society of Genealogists Member No.25396 SPAC-E,-IE,-EY,-Y
