If messages are sent in html and not in plain or styled text the messages may be deleted because of the pbs email list content filtering rules. Everyone should check their email programs and make sure not to send in html. (I have Eudora and I can't send in html, I don't think.) If you send an attachment, the email will also be filtered out. The list is set not to receive attachments of any kind in order to protect its members from viruses. My mac receives html messages differently than a pc; I get some embedded messages as attachements, but in both cases the filters will make sure that these messages don't go to the list as a whole. Hope this helps a bit, and someone can probably elaborate. s. -- susan hayek, North Coast of CA, USA, zone 9b, Sunset zone 17. 15 miles south of Eureka, CA, overlooking the Eel River, with a peek of the ocean.
