Re: re [Cz-L] plain text

Listen up guys: I'm a real ditz when it comes to learning anything
new on a computer. However, when it was invaded (hacked) last year with a
virus that obliterated much of my AOL address book - after which 200
friends and family received e-mail advising I was stranded
in a Wales hotel and needed $2,500 to get home - I gratefully followed
Jerome's instructions, which took a whole 30 seconds..
 
    I merely right-clicked on my correspondence and chose the "compose as
plain text" option and Alacazam !! my correspondence was in plain text.

Now, if Jerome can just teach me to use a smart phone.......oh, but
that's not for
dummies like me.

With 700 hours a week of computer time, Plain Text should be a piece of
cake for you.

The overwhelming reason for demanding Plain Text with no attachments and
a moderated format is that there is no way to deliver viruses, mal-ware,
or spam to the users. Most, if not all email lists from Universities
use this approach. Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, etc., are NOT mailing
lists per se, but data aggregators, advertisers and data re-sellers.
You get what you pay for -- you get 'pretty', but 'pretty' doesn't
always mean good.

Mit Respekt,
jerome
