Oh, but imagine the poor POP user, reading this offline... ;-)

P.S. Tips on screenshots for email, for the sake of the
bandwith-impaired:
1) Don't shoot the whole screen unless you need to.
2) Don't shoot the window decorations unless you need to.
3) http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/
4) PNG is the format of choice for screenshots, IMHO. JPEG gets ugly
artifacts when fed a high-frequency signal, e.g. fine black letters on a
white background. GIF sometimes doesn't have enough colors, which often
results in dithered screenshots. Both phenomena constitute data loss.

I have a question for the list, and the best way to explain it is to
insert some screen shots into the Email. Is this an acceptable thing
to do? I know there are some purists out there who frown on Email
which contains anything but text.

Well, most of the people on this list are using a mailer that can handle
HTML mail. ;-)
Attachments should be acceptable as well.
