RE: [MV] Email alternative to Skylee

You are trying to post HTML or HTML attachments to the list (this is not
allowed, and Plain Text is the order of the day). If you are using Outlook
Express, click on "Format" on the top grey bar. Then, when it pulls down,
click on "Plain Text". That should take care of your problem. This has
happened to me before, too. If you are using any other mail program, find
out how to change from HTML or Rich Text to plain text.

It appears that your mail service is appending HTML objects to your message,
which is what is really causing the problem. My ISP stripped off the
additional stuff, so I can't see it, but it is usually advertisements.

I am also posting this message to the list so you can see that it is posted
in Plain Text format. The blue bar at the very top of your screen should
show the "Subject" line and the format of the document (In Outlook and
Outlook Express, anyway). I have used several other mail products, but
can't remember how they did this stuff. I just know they have similar
functionality.

Joe this email is being sent to you direct because I can not post to the
list. I just sent a test message using the mil-veh@skylee.com and it
bounced too. I am inserting it into this email so you can see what it says
about not working. Maybe it will help you figure out the problem.
