the likelihood of your getting a useful reply will jump several 
orders of magnitude if you post in plain text instead of html. the 
people who know the most take the dimmest view of html email; most of 
us just nuke it out of hand, though in this case i jumped into the 
trash directory to drop you this note. html mail is not secure, and 
it adds loads of size to the message without improving it in any way. 
some people on this list pay by the amount they download, so doubling 
the size of the message with useless html encoding simply costs those 
people money -- which will make them disinclined to offer help. 
surely you can find a mail account that doesn't send html or 
microsoft advertisements, both of which you included.

that's why it took so long to happen.
