That might be a problem as my email client doesn't have a plain text mode, all emails are HTML with no user changeable settings. I could make all my emails plain text but then it would be server wide for me and anyone else on the domain. And it would wipe out everyone's signature files which would have to be remade in plain text. I just wonder why the email list can't grow with the rest of the internet?

The reflector will not take attachments. But do make sure you set the email client into "Plain text" mode before you put the data into it. -- Mark D. Johns, KØJM AMSAT Ambassador & News Service Editor Brooklyn Park, MN USA EN35hd

Maybe type it up in a word processor in a table and copy that to your
client? Another idea and this is what my local club does for anything
that
we want "pretty" formatting on something. Is attach it as a PDF to the email and have a minimal blurb that says go read the attached PDF.
Not sure if PDF's would make it across the email reflector, might be a
sign
that it's started falling behind with the current state of tech. This is the only one that I belong to that blows up on embedded HTML and images. Most have moved to Groups.IO.

One also might ask why some email users need 6 lines of signature, nearly exceeding the number of lines in the body of the message containing useful content.

In email such as this HTML is bloatware and costs the end user that pays by the byte.
