[Novalug] blocked mail (Peter Larsen)

[Roger W. Broseus]

The issue is bigger than as presented: when I embed URLs in a message, and at 
other times, it gets converted to a link that readers must click on to see the 
message. This take me to a page of text with embedded html! And, I wonder if 
readers even bother to go to such links, given that they are easily confused 
with other gobbledygook in messages.

As for the easiest way to few bits going into in-boxes, well, that's up to 
readers who reply without chopping off the endless streams of quoted and 
re-quoted and re-re-quoted and re . . . re-quoted discussion.

Of course this is not directed at personally at Peter.
