Hello Al,
pThank you for your rationally presented points about my using HTML to
post. In that light, I would be happy to try to change my settings. Can
anyone tell me how reset my browser to post in plain text? I use Netscape
Navigator 4.7.

brYou still have not figured out how to post in plain text instead
of HTML.

brPlease learn to post in plain text. Thanks.

br Actually, most newsreaders can handle HTML these days.  
Unless you
br are still using something ancient like pine and emacs, you have
br nothing to worry about.  MT-NW 3.4 can certainly handle it.  
I know
br because I use it on my OS X box also.

pTrue, many can handle it but it is considered poor practice and highly
brdiscouraged to use HTML in both email and newsgroup postings. 
Much
brspam comes via HTML so at least give those of us who try to fight it
a
brsporting chance.
pConsequently, I use Gnus/Emacs and it will display HTML but I wash all
brposts anyway.  Long Live Gnus!!
pCheers.
