Re: Crossposting web page stuff

[Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx <xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

sorry,  I really don't know why cross-posting appears in a weird way, but I
will try cutting and pasting to a word document. When i send my message, a
small box appears asking me html or text format, so I press the text button.
Should I press the html button?.  My new e-mail account is not a school
account; it is a free account, so it may be the case that it does not format
automatically.

I don't know the technicalities of reformatting, what should I do after cutting
and pasting to a word document?

big sorry again for the spill over effect..


Xxxx
