please don't mess up my computer

[Guest guest]

I made a plea a few weeks ago, but it's still happening, so I'm going to

try again....

 

Some internet software programs (AOL is a prime example) allow the user

to set up all sorts of fun parameters that affect how their email looks

and acts when it is received on the other end. This is usually done

under something like " preferences " . The problem is, we don't all use

the same software, and therefore it doesn't always come out the way it

was sent.

 

The particular problem I am having is that at least a few people on this

list have their parameters set in such a way that reading their email

causes my computer to go into a loop, in which every few minutes my

screen is interrupted with a request to log on to the Web. Even if I go

to another program (say, word processing), it continues. I have to exit

my email software program (Netscape) in order to cancel the macro. The

problem is not coming from any other source except this list.

 

If this problem continues, I will have to uns*b. Please, please, check

your email parameters.

 

Thank you,
