I received everything fine.  I am using the native iPad email client.  Running the latest version of iOS.  To some of Brian's comments I looked today to see if my email client is setup for text only.  I was unable to find any setting for that.  If anyone on here is an iPad expert and knows how to setup email for text only please let me know.  Thanks.

Jim, W4KXY
