You are likely right. When I reply here, it looks one way. When I hit forward before, it seems to behave differently, although it makes no sense to me why it would do that. I use Seamonkey as my email client. The biggest setting I have set, send text only to gentoo.org. Everything else is set to the default. Other than that, I'm clueless on how and why it does the silly things it does. lol Still hoping someone will step up before that package dies on the vine so to speak. Dale :-) :-)
