[thelist] RE: Contributions for an article wanted

Ron

Working on a tied-down corporate network with locked MS tools does
that.

I have every single option turned off for thelist's address, and
it still does it.

If I post from home, you'll see that either of my main mail clients
(Claris Emailer on Mac & kmail on Linux) send plain text.

<tip type='typography'>
The reason why typing ALL IN CAPITALS is that your eye
relies substantially on the shape of the letters and words
(ie their up and down profile) to recognise them at speed.

SO SECTIONS IN ALL CAPITALS are very, very difficult
to read as your brain has to parse every single letter
in detail. The longer the section in CAPITALS, the more
work involved
