An RFC compliant newsreader posts and reads messages composed in ASCII, not HTML. Bill Gates for some reason decided that standards mean nothing and HTML should be used for not only the world wide web, but also for email, usenet, and the interface on your computer (don't get the last one at all, considering how clunky web browsers are). FWIW, I don't believe I've ever actually read an email message that was encoded in HTML. It's just way too much of a pain to parse a message with a million tags in it when chances are it's not worth reading anyway. I should just add a rule in Pine to automagically discard anything that contains "<html>" in it. Jason

You'd never survive in a corporate setting, then. At least not the one's I've worked at. 99.9% of the 2000-3000 work emails I get a month are HTML and include things like formatted Word, Excel and other reports. I wouldn't have it any other way, personally. -Larry "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

And yes, I use Outlook 2002. I like the way it formats reports and other things that I receive/transmit dozens of times a day. My Outlook PST has nearly 100,000 emails in it. Outlook is a fine email program IF you secure it properly and your mail gateways are properly protected. I also find it's single-file method of storage extremely convenient. With that said, our corporate standard is Netscape 4.8 which I personally cannot stand. Mozilla is also excellent. In many ways, it's the most powerful email client you can (not) buy. -Larry "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Nope. It was a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon. It featured Daffy selling gags to Foghorn and the dog to use on each other. They later found out Daffy was playing both sides as they discovered each other building the "Pipe Full 'o Fun Kit #7"... I'm not sure of the name of the cartoon itself.

Foghorn Leghorn......doesn't ring a bell with me really, could be they were called something else when aired over here as they often translate names and stuff, if Daffy made a guest appearance, how bad can it be :-) Personally I'm a big fan of Tex Avery, and of course early(ish) Tom & Jerry Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--
