Thanks, James. I want to send only plain text messages and have set my
e-mail client to do so. But, I was a bit perplexed.
I replied to a message yesterday and read that message today as
distributed by the list and was startled to see a smiley face in the
text I composed in place of the :) I had written. I did not find any
html coding in the message source. I guess the e-mail reader is
translating the source into html.
