I think that many others do not either. I noted that a thread that starts out as HTML switches back to plaintext as soon as you respond to it. But about 90% of the threads come up as nonreadable HTML coded stuff now and this was definitely not the case before the feed stop a week ago. Obviously the messages from Yahoo come as HTML (complete with heavy picture attachments and all) unless the subscriber does something about it. In this case whatever it was Tony had running before in the way of filtering programs has been switched off now and the HTML comes through. Which makes it impossible for me to read the stuff.... /Bo Berglund
