Unless you wish to screen out those people or be willing to educate them as to how to change settings to make it easier to read, I guess there's no real point in complaining to those people (which might explain the lack of complaints, tal, but it may be masking a lot of aggravation). Therefore, I will nicely put it out there that either: 1) David looks up how to do this and explains it to Tal (off-line is preferred), or 2) Tal looks this up herself and changes it. It _does_ make it harder to read mails, and is not isolated to Tal: I have this same problem with about 5 other mailers on this list who use Yahoo, etc. -- Matthew S.
