Oooh...someone didn't eat their bran today...tsk, tsk, Jeremy.  Got 
keep consistent or the pipe clogs up.  Jeremy, I worked for web 
solutions and design company...well aware of the horrendous plights of 
the Admin.  LOL.  ;-)

No problem about that...But as Dave confirmed that this might be my 
end.  Mail being partially to blame for this or is it my Yahoo! and the 
bounce feature to my home email...But...

No RTF...so I just switched to Plain Text.  I am using Mail, since it 
really is no different to Outlook...LOL.  I am in List Mode, I am 
bouncing from my yahoo! to my personal account.  This way I don't have 
to constantly go to Yahoo!

Yet according to Dave, I have to disable one of the formats for 
replying, yet I am already set to NOT using the "Use the same message 
format as the original"

Replying: Options are
Use the same message format as the original  <--which is disabled

Quote the text of the original message <--which is enabled

Which it is...so it could be possible that this coming from the 
bounce...hmmm.  We will see.

Peace,

Being an admin for a huge mailing list is totally different
than the job you described. But regardless, no need to
get so defensive and make little jokes about me, I only
made that comment because you so often try to "dis" on
the admins (you know what I'm talking about), it just was
just nice seeing you asking for help for a change.
