Sidibeh,

Again, thanks. I don't use  outlook express. However, with my AOL service, I  
know I have an option  to choose a permanent setting  to send out my  emails 
as 
plain  text instead of in HTML format. I have come across this in  my system  
but forget where but I will find it I am sure.
In the meantime, I was not  going to alter the format only for individual  
mails I send out. I will  simply do this for all mails I post to G-L for now  
until I find the  option to change it in my system. I seem to have this  
problem 
only  with mail posted to the L since none of the people I  correspond with  
individually have had this problem with my mails. I did find out  from  AOL 
that I 
can simply alter the mail I send to G-L and it will correct  the  problem for 
those who were receiving my mails as blanks while at  the  same time it will 
not 
affect list recipients who never had  the  problem with my mails. At least 
that 
is what AOL confirmed and let  us see if  they are right.
Many thanks.

Rgds,
Jabou  Joh

Sister  Jabou,

Sorry that no  one could get back to yoy as quickly. AOL support  is probably 
right  about the format you send these messages in, even if the  problem can  
have other causes. However, I would advise that instead of  simply  altering 
the format for individual mails, you can chnage the   configuration for all 
mails you post so as to avoid the problem  recurring.  If you are running 
Outlook Express, choose Options from the  Tools menu.  Click on the Send tab 
and choose Unformated text from the  "email message  format" alternative. 
Click the latter's configuration  butoon and choose  MIME.

The configuration for outlook 2003 is even  easier. I hope this  helps.

good  morning,
sidibeh
