hi,

As a subscriber to these bullitns I have to let you know that I seem to get 
about 90% gobblediguke...in my messages.

Is their somthing wrong with my email, or is this just a result of crossing 
formats over?? It would be great to get the summaries in clear text only.

many thanks,

Ed Cooper
