John,

Well I should have thought of that. My father was 100% blind from a
childhood accident involving a metal clothesline, and my mother was
red/green color blind. She could not pick strawberries, for instance. I
was thinking that that cool blue we use every day to indicate a URL link
would be nice to indicate the new part of a message. Guess not..

Italics might still work...but not at RootsWeb......
