I for one, don't see a need to pick up and move what is already a
highly successful mailing list.

If you don't like the ads, stop using Outlook Express and use a *real*
email program.  Two fine examples are Eudora and Agent.  Both will
allow you to turn off HTML in emails and leave you with ASCII text
only.  Both are extremely more secure than OE and besides, having HTML
displayed in your emails is hazardous to your computer's health.

HTML belongs on web pages.  ASCII text is for emails and newsgroup
posts.
