RE: [sort of OT] Mail Clients

["M McAree Jr" <michael.mcaree@xxxxxxx>]

Keith I use Outlook 2000 as my mail client. I have noticed that the
messages
you refer to contain Japanese adverts from Egroups at the bottom of them.
Maybo you can't handle that type of text. Ants message also contains the
Japanese text.

No sign of Life Stages yet (Thank God!)
