Not to be bitching; but my email program; Microsoft Outlook, can't handle
HTML messages; thus I get an attached text object that is very, very hard to
decypher - on every single message from Marvin. (and others). Is it too
much to ask for people to send plaintext?

Am I the only person who can't read messages made up of tons of HTML junk?

Glad this is not bitching, so I won't take it as flame bait :). This is the
first I have heard that *every single message* I am sending is in HTML
format. Can someone else confirm this, as I have the Netscape preferences
set to not to send HTML. I send a fair amount of messages out including one
to a friend of mine who is blind and uses pine; he has no problems reading
these messages.

No, your not sending HTML code out EVERY msg, just the ones
from ebay. They should be grateful that you cared
enough to alert
the reflector to this entertaining display of High VALUE
computers.
