Mary Sue asked us all to turn off html for this list, and to create
signatures that includes our geographic location.

Here's how to do these things if you're using Outlook Express (one of the
happy family of Microscoff products). Owners of other programs hit delete
now!

To turn off html in all your email: At the top of Outlook Express screen,
click on TOOLS. Select OPTIONS. Click on the SEND tab. Halfway down the
panel you'll find MAIL SENDING FORMAT. Select PLAIN TEXT. At the bottom of
the panel click OK. That's all you have to do.
