A suggestion -- the growing use of HTML (hyper-text markup language) on big
reflectors is eating a lot of bandwidth unnecessarily.  Outlook and Outlook
Express are 99 percent of this growing problem, and many users are not even
aware that they're not sending straight text.  If you are using one of
these e-mail programs, how about doing the following:

Go to the task bar, select Tools, select Options, select the Send tab, then
select Plain Text instead of HTML.  Down further is a small box labeled
"Reply to messages using the format in which they were sent."  Uncheck
that, click Apply, then click OK and you're done.  Your messages will now
consume much less bandwidth than they did before.

Thanks!!
