Hi Peter and all,

What's happening here is that Hotmail (among other ISP's) is attaching
advertisements to the bottom of each message you send.  You don't see
it when you send it.  It is attached after you send your message.  Your
receiver (meaning us PaddleWisers) get to see it 8-}  
 
I've been trying to catch these.  We first tried stripping them
automatically (Yahoo was the worst).  Then, they got smart about it and
started varying the ads just enough to make it impossible to automatically
strip the ads.  This is the real price of the "free" email/web services.

So.... the following ISP's are being filtered so that I can manually
strip the ads.  Not fun and occasionally I miss some of them.  My
apologies.  

usa.net
yahoo.com
excite.com
hotmail.com

If you send email through these email services, expect your email 
directed to the list to be delayed.  The ads, which have absolutely
nothing to do with PaddleWise, are becoming increasingly invasive.
If you are paying for your email service and ads are being attached
and you object, you might want to find another email provider that
does not do this (there are plenty).

Regards,

Jackie
