Pynchon List Posting - Please use Plain Text

[Guy Ian Scott Pursey]

Stupid question: is HTML formatting okay?

I've switched to plain in case it isn't but I've used HTML in the past
and not yet been shouted at... Perhaps more to do with my tendency to
lurk instead of post... who knows?

Cheers,
Guy

Ah, I thought I cancelled the rich text and initiated plain.  I am
still a technological newbie on his first computer.  mea culpa and I
do apologize.

assistance in how to do this (it's pretty simple ... the option to do
should be easy to find in your email program), please let me know and
I'll lend a hand. Most of us are now doing it this way, and it makes for
an easier read.
