Hi Peter and the rest of Paddlewise. My guess is that this attachment is coming in from Peters use of Hotmail - a free email service and (I'm assuming) a part of the Microsoft Network. /Glen Acord /Look ma, not unwanted attachments! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

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).
