Check your settings, and make sure you are posting using plain text for
newsgroups, instead of HTML.


Morgans, I don't quiet understand how to check to see if I am using plain
text or HTML. Remember I am a pilot not a computer expert. I am open to
learn,
though. Everything looks finr on my end.


You *are* using plain text. It just happens to be set to "UTF-8" encoding,
which in Outlook Express causes the message to be displayed with a different
font. This makes Jim think you posted in HTML (since he's only looking at
how the message looks, rather than paying attention to the actual format of
the message).

You probably don't have control over the posting format anyway, since you're
using a web site to post to the newsgroup. Personally, I think that's a bad
idea, but some people have no direct access to an NNTP server. Perhaps
you're one of these people. In any case, in this situation I don't see
anything about your use of a web site instead of a newsreader that is
causing actual problems for the rest of us.

In other words, don't worry about it.
