RE: Linear address mapping

["Kevin D. Davis" <kevind@ti.com>]

Actually it work fine for me.  I got an HTML attachment that I could double 
click and view.  The only problem was that I got a text version.

Of course, if you're using MS Messaging, we are using the same email.

Thanks,
Kevin

Ouch.  Well, if I had sent that VDS stuff as plain text, it would have been
wordwrapped to a total mess and lost all formatting.  At least to my email 
(and
I think netscape) it arrived with all formatting intact.  I normally use
straight 75 column ascii text for mailling lists as I know a lot of people 
are
using older email that doesn't support html formatting.

Double ouch.  I just looked at the RAW message I'd sent, I didn't realize 
it
formatted that badly!  Frankly, I was cutting and pasting blocks of RTF.. I
also didn't realize that my new emailler would send the whole body twice, 
once
as quoted-printable, and the second time as HTML.  phhhh!  Well, now I know 
why
I leave the MIME/HTML stuff disabled!

Apologies to the group for that mess(age).
