Hi everyone,
The "Request to remove information" thread has become a murky goo of
useful (and non-useful) posts. Please, if you're sharing useful info
based on the "Request to remove" thread, start a new thread. That'll
make it easier for people reading archives and such.
On the topic mentioned above, I find HTML e-mail useful sometimes, but I
wouldn't send it to an e-mail list unless it was a generally accepted
practice on the specific list.
