MOTM

Yes, but, that's what I'm saying.  To me, those ads are not graphics,
they're plain text.  Is there a setting in the eGroups profile somewhere...?

Ah-HAH!  Yes, I think there is.  Go to eGroups.com, and click on "My
eGroups", or whatever it is.  Log in, and over in the right hand side
there's a My Profile link.  Now on that page, there's an "Edit Profile" link
(guess what we do with that link, kiddies?).  On that page, there's a
"Preferences" section-- click on the "Send me plain text email" radio
button.

I think that's what those poor saps with local toll charg-- er, I mean the
Brits-- are looking for.  ;)
