Dear Jean, Thanks for trying, but no, but you replied and had part of the message in your response. Would someone test Bill's suggestion in a brand new message and Steve's in a brand new message. If you reply and include any of the message, it won't work. You can't have any part of it be formatted or the whole thing becomes html. I really appreciate everyone helping on this. If we can't figure it out we will give AOL users a pass. Mary Sue
