thanks -- I just see this all the time about text only.

I agree with it, I'm just not sure how to make it happen. I've been through
Eudora preferences and this is one of those things that has always made me
nuts since I don't _know_. Yeah, I know -- if it ain't broke...

It's too weird to sit around and wait for 10+ inches of snow. The sun is
shining, the birds are chirping it's 27-degrees and we have a winter storm
warning. And, if it's coming from Texas then why dontcha'all just keep
it??????????
