Well its weird reading it on the machines I've used! All of that garbage, characters and such seems to jump around as I try to cursor thru it, and there are always = signs sprinkled throughout as the reader reads it! I'd be interested in knowing if I can eliminate it on in-coming messages, its annoying! I actually have had it on a couple of other lists, but its getting less common, I think! posting from Windsor Maine; Steve Hoad _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
