I have been thinking about this for a few days.  The one difference I have heard was the use of Microsoft Plus  to compose the messages.  I'm thinking if he composed directly into the  E-Mail client the code would disappear.  The Email client, Outlook or Outlook Express, needs to have the outgoing messages formatted for "text rich" script.  I'm going to intentionally put some of this code into this post hoping it won't come through as squiggly lines.  If it does come through as the squiggly lines I apologize and assure you it is the last time you will see code form me,  If not, I have found out what is causing the code.  And all that has to be done is avoid composing in Plus.

Noel,

 Thanks  for trying so hard.  It is appreciated and there was no garbage received  here.

I have no idea what "source code" is, but when I read it on my eMac,  

there was no problem reading it. How it differed from any other post  

is the following: The words Microsoft Plus was bold and underlined.  

Email (as in Email client) was bold. the words "text rich" was within  

quote marks...like I hope it appears when I just typed it. The word  

code was normal font, but in red color. The word squiggly was in  

italics.

Hope this helps...from a Mac point of view...and I realize that us  

Mac guys are few and far between.  : )



And to answer your question from the other day:

"Just wondering if there is actually any one out there who will admit to

having a big problem with reading the little bit of code that is in  

some of

the posts?  If I had a big problem with it I wouldn't let on."



I had a problem with some of Steve's posts where he was (I think)  

quoting from the Register, and there was a LOT of  characters that  

were hard to understand, and I think that this was my Mac's way of  

interpreting a quote. In other words, the "gibberish" came at the  

start and the end of a "passage", if I can call it that.

But it wasn't a "big problem", and I could read it, but it would have  

been nice if it wasn't there...the weird characters, not Steve's  

posts necessarily. Kidding Steve, just kidding. : )

I have Plus installed on my  other computer I'll try to get the code and then we will know how to get rid of  it.  Steve said he composes his messages in Plus word and I'll bet that is  where the problem lies.  I wonder why he doesn't just compose directly into  his E-Mail client.  Maybe if he reads this he'll let us  know.

Lynn  that is exactly what you should have gotten on that test post.  The

E-Mail client was supposed to recognize the code to cause the changes you

described and mot confound the post with straight data code.



Did you notice it was in Times New Roman 14 Pt font and the signature at the

end was I an old English script... I use that one at Christmas.



I still think it has something to do with the use of Microsoft Plus to

compose his posts.....

The previous message is a section form the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) originally it had most of the formatting code that is in the FAA rules.  Italic, bold and underlined.  By pasting directly from the web page to the Matronics text box all the formatting was stripped off but so was the format code.  

I think if Steve pastes directly from his source ( FAA regs) to the text box without using the Plus his posts will be easier to read.  

On the other hand if anyone wants to post via E-Mail and retain all the text rich feature all they need to do is (a) turn on the text rich format on their E-Mail program (client), (b)make sure you put the same subject in the subject box of the E-Mail program and (c) email the post to:  kitfox-list(at)matronics.com  

Hope this helps guys   

Sorry I forgot to use the Do not archive  statement on the last post.

Steve,

I'm not sure I should try to explain myself one more time, but since I did 

not mean to offend in my "No Problemo"comment, I will.



To understand my comment, you must consider the context. If you read the 

third sentence and following, my intention is clearly stated.I was just 

trying to explain in "no problemo" the initial normal "first impression" 

human response to input from our five senses; in this case visual. The point 

intended was--my first visual impression of a message can influence my 

opinion of the content of the message. If my first impression is good, this 

influences my opinion of the message in a positive way. If bad, it 

influences my opinion in a negative way. My intent was to encourage you (or 

the writer) to give a good impression when someone glances at the content of 

your message. If there was a "simple fix" to do that, I believe most people 

would want to do that and I hope you would want to.



However, after reading your response, if would appear that you are looking 

for reasons to be offended. Please look closely at your response to what I 

thought was plain language. You said, " you imply the writer is garbage." 

But I stated, "if the message looks like garbage it could very well be 

garbage and/or the source of it is a producer of garbage." Notice closely 

that the "is a producer of garbage" is not the same as saying the person is 

garbage. Do you see the difference? I hope so. Compare that with this 

statement. If a weld looks bad, it probably is bad. If the welder 

consistently produces bad welds, I could say he is a producer of bad welds. 

That is not the same as saying he is a bad weld.



I have called no one "garbage" nor has my comment been rude in context, 

maybe crude, but not rude. But I have tried to encourage you (or the writer) 

to put a little more effort into producing positive first impressions of 

your messages. Indulge me one more example to illustrate the concept of 

first impressions. Maybe you have heard the saying, "you eat with your eyes 

first." A beautifully set table and attractively arranged dishes/food 

prepares the mind to anticipate a wonderful tasting meal. The above does not 

guarantee good tasting food. However, food sloped on a table almost 

guarantees a negative opinion of the taste of the food before eating.



I trust this explanation was satisfactory. I intended no offense.
