Marshall, You're getting all that color/font/etc stuff because some people are posting to the list in "html" rather than "plain" format. Plain format looks like plain old typing -- no fancy stuff, no colors. And that shows up on your screen (or in your speaker) exactly as it was typed in. When people use html formatting, they are usually adding colors or fancy line formatting (none of which adds to the content of the message but can look nice). And that means that the message also contains the information that tells the screen (or your speaker) how to display that information. That's the stuff with all the equal signs. I'm sure Hotmail will display html format, but you might need to update your reader, if you're using one, so it will ignore those formatting commands.

Here is what makes them difficult. Any ideas on how to correct, I'm all ears. Thanks.
