Sorry, I didn't realise the quote was from such an old message. I didn't
join the list until last May.

Fair enough, I didn't realise that. I thought he was referring to the
overall size of the HTML encoded message.

Tell me about it. Since I haven't take the time to sit down and learn HTML
coding yet I use FrontPage, you want to look at that for a prime example of
bloated HTML production....I've heard tales of some pages being three times
larger than they could be mentioned in the FP newsgroup. :-(
