This message came through completely blank in the message section to my

list.  I'm trying to figure out where the incompatibility is, and so far,
the people who have sent messages that come through blank to me have given
me some clues that I am working with to figure out if there is some
pattern to when the problem occurs.  Did you send this message on MS
Outlook?  Did you send it in Mime format?  Was this message a forward of
another email that you got?  If none of those three conditions was true,
could you tell me how you did send your message, in other words, what
email program or process or format you are using?  (I'm not even sure I
have the right word here for asking how you sent your message.)...

I understand this problem of blank pages comes up when some of us on the list (e.g., your humble scribe) resides in a MIME text environment.  My tech support folks suggested I make sure to click "Plain Text" on my email facility whenever I send mail outside of our internal loop.  Since getting into the habit of doing so (well, like most habits, most of the time I remember to maually set plain text) my blank message problem has been solved...or so it seems.  I trust this message gets through!
