Digital BW, The Print

Do you people who are complaining about the ads read the list off the web or
have the emails sent to you?

I have them sent to me in Plain Text and I get no ads, no HTML. Then I set
up a Rule in Outlook Express which files each email from this list into it's
own folder inside my mailbox. I do the same for every list I'm on and it's
quite orderly and sensible.
