Ironic really, the post was to thank Fabio for resolving my problem (posted correctly in plain text) and saying that I was too tired to make the required fix. Obviously too tired to hit 'plain text' instead of 'RTF' in my mail format drop-down too. Anyways, a plain text "Thank you" to Fabio for fixing my issue; a "Thank you" to Mark Harris for putting my encoded text through the transmogrifier and an apology to the rest of the list members.
