Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

HI all,

It took me a while some time back to work out how those "Edit My Membership"
set-ups work, but basically, if you send a post with HTML enabled in your
email client, the recipient (ie. everyone) receives in HTML meaning your
messages are received with any special fonts and text colour enabled, and
Yahoo slaps an annoying banner ad on the bottom that the computer must
connect to the internet in order to d/l, even in you were offline and just
wanted to browse your personal archives.

Those with HTML permanently disabled in the email client  (as is my work
address) receive the HTML-style mail in raw text but littered with HTML code
throughout, making the true message hard to read.

> Message Format - Do Not Convert To HTML.

This setting stops non-HTML posts from being converted to HTML, and
therefore stops Yahoo slapping an annoying banner ad on the bottom of
*every* mail sent to your mail box (well they do, but it's text only).

In every yahoogroups post I send, I go to the Format menu (Outlook Express -
Mac) and disable the HTML option prior to sending.

It's possible for the moderator to switch off HTML for every post
distributed by yahoogroups (as some lists do, such as DAW_mac). The catch is
though, everyone sending HTML must stop too, otherwise their posts are
received by all with ugly HTML code throughout.

I guess it's easier to stop it at the source.
