I have been at a show for the last couple of days, so am slightly out of
touch. Wasn't the original post asking the question on how to send a sheet
of typing (text) attached to an e-mail message, to avoid postage.
        What we do, as we get lots of requests for the same information ie.
tech specs, price lists etc. We have that info in another program (Ms Works)
and then we just copy and paste into the e-mail message. For example that
info from Dr. James Amrine re. Essential Oils is held on my hard drive under
essenoil1.txt if somebody requests that, it's only a few key strokes and
away it goes. Using this method will save file attachments and the
possibility of virus transmission.
        One final point for all the unsure 'newbies'. To check out your
message capabilities, send a message to yourself. All you need to do is put
your own address  in the "To" box and what ever you send will come back to
you. It will allow you to set up all the switches and parameters
        instead of getting messages
        only as wide as this one piece
you can set the widths and characters per line to fill the page and be more
legible.
                        Regards to all, happy thanksgiving to all our
Southern cousins.
