Howdy GreenYes,

Just a reminder:
Posting on GreenYes in HTML format makes our
searchable archives look illegible. (see example  below)

While it may look beautiful when you send it,
folks won't be able to understand it later when
they view the archive. We sure would like what
you have to say to be useful for archive searches.
Clues that your email won't archive well are:
a. different size fonts all in one email
b. different colored fonts all in one email
c. graphics, colored backgrounds
d. anything other than one size black and white text.
Please don't use any of these on the list.

[Note: currently GreenYes archives search seems to
be unavailable. We are working to rectify the situation.]

Most email applications can be set to text-only
format manually or automatically. Please check
with your email application's manual on how to
do this.

Example from our archives:
