Normally I would let this one slide, and I am sure I will get a few remarks for not letting it slide, but I really 'need' to say something regarding the responses I received.

First of all I want to say thanks to all who replied, all answered my question. I did not know about the Menu option for registering. I did a quick look on the Opera website but could find nothing. Should have know though because other programs offer the same. Just was not sure if the "free" version may have been some light version of the paid one.

Regarding text versus html, sorry I did not know it really made a difference, but I will try to stay with text only in the future.

Main reason for this email though is because I felt I was being "critiqued"
by one of the people replying to my email. Maybe for asking what seemed like a not too intelligent question, or for not being a heavy newsgroup user and knowing not to use html in my posts. Who knows. But based on looking at some of the posts by one of the people replying to my post, I see that one individual really needs to use a dictionary or a spell checer for their own posts. But bad spelling is not one of those items "critiqued".

Sorry if I offended anyone, but it is just John whispering in the darkness.

Thanks again to all for the help.

Currently I am using IE 5.5 and Outlook Express. Strongly considering switching to Opera. Planning on downloading the free version of Opera 7.11
to try it out. Question is, when I decide to upgrade from the free version to the purchased version, do I have to re-download the whole program again,
or do they just give me a key to turn the free version into a registered purchased version??

Thanks for you help.

John
