re: extraneous characters in email

the adl list software doesn't
handle machine code formatting very well
thats why you see extraneous characters

everyone could try to send plain text
w/o any formatting to the list

everyone can choose that preference
in their email clients

and then again you'd still have to have
your browser working well to see it
correctly on your screen

Not all software play nice with others

it's not about language
it's about technology.

hope that helps,

Karen Ellis
