Well put. If you send plain text messages in messages to the list, 
you can't lose. (The list software is somewhat forgiving even if your 
email is not plain text.)

I found instructions on the web for how to configure many different 
email programs to send plain text. The link is here:

Just look up your email program in the list and do what the 
instructions say. (This is only needed if you are having trouble 
sending messages TO the list.) It's a bit technical, but if you 
scroll that web page up, there's an explanation for why send plan 
text.

My offer still stands to help anyone who is having problems. Just let 
me know.

<laughing!!!> I don't know about prayer, but karma helps. My wife is 
completely annoyed when I just sit down in front of her computer and 
the problem magically vanishes. I achieve this by closing my eyes, 
taking a deep breath, and visualizing a happy and healthy computer. 
The visualization exercise increases my computer karma. Swearing or 
otherwise thinking unfriendly thoughts about the computer is asking 
for trouble. It's a well kept secret that computers are psychic and 
have feelings that are easily hurt <grin!>
