Jim, I am mortally wounded at being singled out!
Actually, thank you for letting me know. I checked my browser settings
and sure enough it was set to use html, which is probably the cause in
my case. I also heard from Brad K. today that he had just received a
post I sent in September! Very strange. I thought this "Lucas Internet
Access Service" was way too good a deal!
I recently upgraded the NOS computer I normally use to Win 98, which
might explain the "foolin' around with my Netscape Communicator
settings", esp. considering how B. Gate probably feels about them right
now, but the 4 month message delay will probably always remain a
mystery!
