Dunno what your point is about posting HTML items. Do they actually
contain any control codes or machine code ?

Why do you think we have UUencode/UUdecode on the Net ?

About 6 months ago we had a spate of readers in alt.ascii-art
screaming for people to please turn the color off in their postings
of ascii art. The color codes were creating mayhem and the same applies
to Escape Codes used in ascii animations.

Tell you what...I do not go to the trouble of regular postings
of warning messages for enjoyment...they take time and are a
tedious chore.

Also...may I suggest you grab a copy of the Ascii Art FAQ and read
it thoroughly...it will tell you about uuencode/decode and lots
of other useful things.

Bye,
