Brandon,

Thanks.. I got it... I tried to stay our to the religous wars on HTML messages good or bad.  There are only a few list which give me HTML messages like 
the one I posted, and I usually just hit alt-x to view them.  I was hoping that they would be cleaner, but not a big deal.  Thanks for the new Beta to Peter!

Michael
