I noticed that, too. Think it's because you don't post in "plain text"?
(It's always much smaller print than nearly all others.)

Maybe I'll fool around with that on my end...but I don't think it'll fix the
funky (non) quoting issue. (I manually added the '' to your one-line
remark, but far too lazy and forgetful to do it for lengthy posts.)

Nope. Server or whatever won't let me post in HTML, which did at least show
new text different from quoted (using a solid sidebar); the quest
continues...

MY OPNION IS: TIRES ARE CHEAP FOR THE VALUE AND THE VALUE/EXPENSE GOES
TO one as prices rise toward $50.
good tires makes even a Fiat smell good.

THUNDERBIRD!

Mozilla Thunderbird, that is:
http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/, and not Gallo
Thunderbird [1].

Yours for the low, low price of $0.00. Use it for just Usenet, if for
some reason you want to keep using Windows Live Mail for regular email.

[2] How's it sold? Good and cold!

Was just going to say "Fifty twice!"
Must have been more expensive in the crescent city.

I downloaded Firefox long ago, but didn't really care for it. I'll have to
check out T'bird.

Yours for the low, low price of $0.00. Use it for just Usenet, if for
some reason you want to keep using Windows Live Mail for regular email.


I actually like the e-mail interface. Few quirks, but the Calendar sidebar
feature is proving useful. I'll investigate using Mozilla for Usenet only
(if I ever take the time).

Thanks.

High-class lowlifes USED to drink Boones Farm Strawberry Wine. But that was
38 years ago or so.
