First, Vicky, try editing your Yahoo Groups preferences so that messages
with HTML are not converted to HTML. That is a personal setting that the
moderator cannot change. Go to "Edit My Membership" and check "Do Not
Convert to HTML".
Second, as to "cluttering up your mailbox", I haven't seen any attachments=
since I changed the settings except my own.
Third, I moderate this group on my own time and energy. There is no "they"=
to the nature recordists group, there is only me. I have heard and noted
your objection to attachments and I have decided to see if they really
become a problem. If they do, I will change the settings back. Until that
time, please bear with this for a little while.
