Hiya folks, New to list, be gentle. I've been managing 2 L-soft lists for a number of years and mostly just shying away from questions like these-- but hopefully someone here knows the answer? Thanks, Howard K Chicago ----- Original message ----- From: "Jay Sebastian" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 09:40:14 -0500 Subject: Re: [*CCM*] CHI-CRIT-MASS Digest - 19 Jun 2011 to 20 Jun 2011 (#2011-141) Really stupid question. I'm sure this has been asked a million times and I forgot. How to I see the digest posts without all of the weird characters that appear below interspersed with the text ?
