  No hate mail here - this is a very good suggestion - and I am certainly
'guilty' of cutnpasting eBay URLS from time to time. I will take your good
advice and do so in the future...  thanks!

  Might I counter with a request?  Please observe:

--- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts ---
multipart/alternative
  text/plain (text body -- kept)
  text/html
The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML
or had an attachment.  Attachments are not allowed.  To learn how

 This is at the bottom of *every one* of your posts, because you continue
to send HTML-encoded messages to plain-text listservers...  Some of us
retro-geeks read our mail using an ASCII terminal emulator under a Unix
shell...  7 bit only.  Greenkeys thankfully strips out the HTML crap, but
many listservs do not.  I sometimes have to wade thru 200 lines of tags,
trying to pick out the words...  mostly I just hit 'DEL' and go on...  :(

  Could you consider setting your Mailer to "plain Text" or it's
equivalent?  That would save 300% as much space as sporadic misbehaved
eBay URLS....


  Thanks!!!


Cheers
