No, but I use TheBat, which can look at just about anything with very
little risk.

The headers look OK, but the "arrangement" of some messages is weird.
For example, the TEXT of Norman's post appears ONLY as a .jpg image
file! Also, it is an attachment, not in-line. This might cause some of
you a problem in opening it (Joe, for one, complained), and if you try
to respond, it is likely to REALLY confuse the next recipient's
mailer. :-) In some mailers, this might make it look as though the
headers are not there, since there is no real 'message'.

Any of you using AOL? I have seen a number of screwed-up messages
originating from AOL lately. Maybe they are trying to
out-incompatibility Microsoft. Just a bit of a payback, perhaps. :-)
If Netscape users are not having a problem, it might be that others
are having a problem with the AOL thing.

Also, Norman, and others - your mail comes with rather obnoxious ADS
and other pix. One looks a bit like it might be a web bug (very
small), but I did not check that out to make sure. Courtesy of M$,
tracking of people has been rapidly expanding to email as well as
surfing. :-((

It might be courteous to others on the list if everyone would remove
the ads BEFORE replying to a message. This would also reduce the
personal tracking of list subscribers. I, for one, would like less
email "pollution". I do NOT look forward to having my email look like
the overblown web pages that now dominate surfing.
