HTML, MIME & Huge quotes

["JAMES MCEWEN"<mcewenjv@songs.sce.com>]

     Gentle listmembers,
     
        I too want to join the Whine & geez group.  Please reset your email 
     program, Netscape or MS Explorer, et al.  Almost all mailing lists and 
     email discussion groups can't handle MIME (an encoding method) or HTML 
     (The language used to make web pages).  Just send plain text and your 
     message will come through with no problems.
        For the computer challenged there are a couple of web sites with 
     very easy to use directions on how to do this for most of the popular 
     email programs.
     
     http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm or 
     http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1236/nomime.html
     
        And as a final whimper, may I ask that you give some consideration 
     to not quoting everything in a message before you click the reply 
     button.  There's a box you can uncheck in most email programs that 
     will stop automatic quoting.
     
     As always, options expressed are mine and are subject to revision at 
     the drop of a neutron.
     
     Jim McEwen,
