Jay -

Thanks for your efforts on this.

It has been my experience though that for the most part, if one is using 
aol, one is not really going to understand what a font is let alone go 
through all the steps necessary to accomplish the feat.

I looked at it this  way, if I used the taboo headers in majordomo, their 
email bounced and they were excluded from participating in the list.  Now 
some would say that if they don't know the difference between html and 
plain text they shouldn't own a computer.  I have my own feelings on this 
but have come to accept the fact that pc's are becoming standard household 
appliances.

With that in mind and given the general level of expertise of the average 
user, I thought it best to fix it on my end.  The thought of trying to 
teach all those users how to format their email in plain text became an 
absurd proposition.....

Now on to bigger and better things - like how to enjoy the 80 degree 
weather we're having today ;-)
