Unfortunately some (evil) editors actually toss them in on their own on the theory that it saves characters. I have noticed that the Deja-news poster seems to remove formatting on occasion too. As near as I can tell it only happens on pasted text, not handwritten. Most annoying. Anyway, having had it happen to me on occasion, I always assume the posting s/w had a problem. -- T.E.D. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
