  Now, hold on here a minute. *I* am the administrator of the 50mhz Reflector, and I don't recall sending you a message that
you call "a suitable reminder". Now, it's possible that the automated system here, which is the Mailman program, did send you
something that I was not aware of.

  The physical owner of  the computers that run the Reflectors did put in another piece of software, this one will go thru
any posted message and cut out the vast majority of HTML-coded messages, leaving just the plain text. If the software is
activated, then there will be 3 or 4 lines of text at the bottom of the message that says that it DID cut out HTML, and it
reminds the sender to try to correct themselves in the future.

  To everyone else... if you have any questions on how the 50mhz Reflector is operated, please feel free to contact me at the
