[ARC5] Ebay bidding frenzy is real!

[wa5cab at cs.com]

 Sorry, but no.  Your first message was fine.  I actually would prefer just the item # as it's safer (I seldom risk clicking on links in messages, but you can't spoof an item #).  Your second message with the embedded photo caused a GPF and shut down my mail manager.  I had to log into AOL and use the browser to reply.  Which has taken, including getting the manager back up, now 13 minutes.

Stick with the item #.  It's the least trouble for you and the least trouble for some of us.  I'm not sure exactly what it is about the embedded photos that kills my manager.  It only seems to happen when the photos are half size, not thumbnails and not full size.  Started about a year and a half ago with some change to this list.  Unfortunately, I can't tell without actually opening the message that it is going to be one of the killers.  And everyone's messages don't do it.  So it's a combo thingy.
