Hi Bev,

I think you misunderstood the explanation. They probably said it was in HTML
and it should be in plain text. With html it comes through with a lot of
weird formatting instructions and usually the message is repeated. This
takes up a lot of band width because of the extra space taken up with the
fomatting codes. I haven't figure out why it copies it twice in the same
message but off course that doubles an already padded post.

Not knowing anything about Web-TV I don't know what the cure is or if there
is one. Seems I have seen this problem mentioned before in another forum.
