Yes, but, that's what I'm saying. To me, those ads are not graphics,
they're plain text. Is there a setting in the eGroups profile somewhere...?
Ah-HAH! Yes, I think there is. Go to eGroups.com, and click on "My
eGroups", or whatever it is. Log in, and over in the right hand side
there's a My Profile link. Now on that page, there's an "Edit Profile" link
(guess what we do with that link, kiddies?). On that page, there's a
"Preferences" section-- click on the "Send me plain text email" radio
button.
I think that's what those poor saps with local toll charg-- er, I mean the
Brits-- are looking for. ;)
