I simply quote a section back at them and they soon get the message when they see what a mess it looks. I recognise that this isn't an option if you work in a big company with a wide mailing list. It should be quite easy to write a simple-minded wash option that just replaces anything in angle brackets with a space and wraps any resulting long lines. This would enable you to see the text your colleague actually wrote. Or you could pipe it through an external program like Michael Haardt's dehtml utility using (shell-command). http://www.moria.de/~michael/dehtml/ -- Sherilyn http://www.greedycorporate.com/minority-report/ Free reliable text-only posting news accounts: http://news.cis.dfn.de/
