Gosh, why did my last post come out with thos rotten little "=3D=3D20" symbo=
ls?
I had hilited the nesletter text I wanted to send to LM_NET and pasted it=20
into a new message to my own aol screen name. There were no "=3D=3D20" symb=
ols=20
in that message. When I went to my own screen name and copy & pasted it to a=
=20
new message to LM_NET, it appeared with those confusing messy symbols. And I=
=20
did not notice until I saw it posted. I hate those things!!!
Anyway, sorry about the second posting, but I want to send this on again,=20
HOPEFULLY without all those added symbols. I have problems reading messages=
=20
with those symbols in them, and I want the contact info at the bottom to com=
e=20
through clean.
