I checked in my Eudora settings, and somehow (never had this problem
before) when I switched to being my own domain and email provider, the
option to send in plain text, styled text, or both got changed from 'plain'
to 'both'.  Silly me! <G>  Thanks for the tips, and that seems to have
solved the problem.  I have noticed this from time to time in other posts,
so if its a problem for you, that might be the reason.  I know several
email clients allow the use of styled (i.e. bold, color, italic, etc.)
text, and if that setting is changed, it might be the reason in those
cases, too... you could be sending styled instead of plain text, and it
might not be readily apparent in your client's composition window.

Thanks to those who sent suggestions.  Dan's seems to be the one that
solved the problem.
