How are you viewing it? If I read it as e-mail then there is no problem (apart from the 
wasted band-width, with about 65% of the transmission taken up with garbage that gets 
stripped out before I normally see it). The problem comes if I read it with a web 
browser, which is the way I normally access news groups as it's useful to have the 
information threaded.

It may be that if you visit the page with a set-up exactly equivalent to what microsoft 
assumed when they set the Outlook Express defaults then it comes out OK, but there are  
tremendous number of different systems in use and the only way to get web pages to 
display properly on all of them is to transmit them correctly. For the record, I have 
checked Judith's message with three different browsers (Safari, iCab, Internet Explorer) 
and none of them displays it in a reasonable size of window without requiring horizontal 
scrolling.
