I would like to second Shouryu's motion.

Although I use Microsoft Outlook Express, which can read HTML e-mail, when I
was on the digest version, it wouldn't read it. And, this goes out to
everyone out there with HTML capable e-mail (like Netscape, Eudora, Outlook,
and AOL)

For those AOL folks who don't know, once you change the font, color, or
style of your message, it's HTML, even though it didn't warn you or
anything.

Thank you.
