I don't read the Twain Forum in digest but do read another listserv that
way. There is another source for the problem Kent mentions. You may have
set preferences in your mail program to send BOTH and HTML AND a plain
text version of each message. That in itself may transmit the same message
in both formats at once. I read some listservs in a very plain text format
on a clunky old vax account. HTML mail thus becomes very hard to read,
since it's full of code. Please consider carefully the choice of format in
which you send mail, and try to choose just one format. When one of those
two-format messages is replied to by someone who includes the original and
also uses both formats for the reply, the congestion gets fierce. Mea
culpa to Kent for including part of his original message. I deliberately
chose enough to remind readers of the topic but deleted the rest of it--in
my antique mainframe case, a line at a time. It ain't that hard! - Peg
