But that also mucks up links in the body text, doesn't it? I'll try later
tonight. Thanks for the hint.

There is a client-side validation for the newsletter form that is in JS,
but there's also a server-side validation. And the OnlineOpinion stuff
is .js, but users without JS just won't see it (I hope). So far, I've
been able to get what I want without requiring it. For now.

And thanks again,
