Yes, please do. And please post in plain text instead of HTML. Here's why

Not picking on you Don, but yours was the first one I found at the end of 
my "in" box file.

This is one line of text. The content here is:
"Before you all get too carried away, here is some food for thought."

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:3.75pt;border:none;mso-border-left-alt:
solid black 1.5pt;padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 4.0pt'><font size=2
color=black face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Before you all get too carried away,
here is some food for thought.</span></font><font size=4 color=black
face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Arial;
color:black;mso-color-alt:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>


This is also one line of text. Note that there is no textual content here 
at all. it's the equivalent of a carriage return and line feed. All of this 
stuff goes in each line of displayed text whether the line is blank or not.


<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:3.75pt;border:none;mso-border-left-alt:
solid black 1.5pt;padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 4.0pt'><font size=4
color=black face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>&nbsp;</span></font><font size=4
color=black face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:black;mso-color-alt:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>


All this junk adds nothing to the content that we read this list for, but 
it does take up eight times the necessary space and download time.
