As an added thought or two, I found that AOL 8.0 does not work that way. The
only way I could come close to looking like Plain Text was to go to AOL
Preferences, Text, then make Arial 10 pt. NOT bold, my default font. For what
it's worth, I have at least three still unanswered questions about submitting
to the list as follows:<BR>Q1. I get two versions: one in plain B&W, the
other in a teel green background color.<BR>Why two different ones?<BR>Q2.
Whenever I've tried to submit a message to the DJML directly, it comes back
unreadable, or not usable in some way. Often, this is when I get the message I
am not using plain text, (even though I <U>am</U> using Arial 10 pt, non bold
font), but there are other problems indicated as well. The only way I can jump
in, I've found, is to copy a portion of an existing message, including the
subject and heading information, then hit "reply" and add my thoughts. That's
how I did this. Why can't I submit directly?<BR>Q3. My listing of subjects
always shows numbered list of subjects up front, with the sender, much like a
table of contents. That's great. But when I scroll through I get multiple
repetitions in different type faces, sometimes with multiple "=" signs at
every sentence, sometimes with type in reverse. So am I doing something
wrong?<BR><BR>None of the above should indicate an unhappy list member. I look
forward to reading (and sometimes joining in) every day. It's a new life
experience to share the world of performing Dixie and traditional jazz
professionals and I love it. Keep it coming any way you can!<BR><BR>Dan (piano
