'------------------------

Why encode HTML? It`s just ascii, albeit with a few < and > characters too many
and can`t do any more harm to a newsreader than an ascii picture with
unfortunately placed <s and >s can.

Outlook Express usually includes a plain text version for the benefit of others
anyway...

And no, I`m not going to post anything in HTML because I don`t use OE for
Newsreading cos it nurgles the spaces at the start of lines.

Now, off to hide from the impending flames.....
