anyone?--no thanks!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I completely agree with Claire. HTML email is fluff--just
cosmetics that gets in the way. Attachments aren't necessary because you can
post a PDF on the web--everyone has a website, right? And circulate a URL.
Most attachments ARE NOT necessary anyway. They tend to be clumsy word docs
that could have been ASCII email anyway.

<DIV>I vote no attachments.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">I strongly disagree. It's a great way to spread
viruses. Remember also that this is not just a US-based list and in parts of
the world where you have to pay per mb for download html posting and large
attachments clog up inboxes. There's no reason why posters can't send round
a link to a web page.<BR>Claire<BR><BR>
