Please don't post in HTML

Hi folks-

It has been brought to my attention that a few of the recent Looper's 
Delight digests were unviewable for some subscribers due to people posting 
in HTML from Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0.

Apparently this new version of Outlook uses HTML 4.0, which some browsers 
and mail clients are not compatible with. It may also be that Outlook is 
generating buggy or non-standard html code, since that has been a problem 
with some Microsoft products in the past. It sure is ugly looking html, in 
any case.

Please be a good list citizen and post to the list in plain text. Turn off 
the HTML option in your mail program. The HTML doesn't add anything useful 
to your posts and just wastes a lot of bandwidth on the server. And now it 
seems it is ruining entire digests for some people.

Most people do post in plain text, and I'm hoping that this reminder is 
enough to get everybody doing it. If not, I will resort to adding scripts 
to the list server that simply reject your posts.

thanks,
kim
