The PBS list does not allow anything other than plain text - other formats are converted to plain text before being sent out. There is a convention that single line breaks are white space and can be ignored and double line breaks are to be treated as such. I've been sending plain text emails since 1985 - all this modern stuff with fancy fonts and pictures - bound to end in trouble. Seriously the PBS list has a lowest common standard approach. One day we might change. (notice double line breaks in above text) (single line break between this line and the previous one) -- David Pilling http://www.davidpilling.com/
