OT .. Hi Amy, no apology necessary. I think we all learn about *yelling* the hard way. However, I apologize .. for using a public post, instead of PM.

All uppercase is not always considered yelling. Acronyms comes to mind, and I'm sure there are others. Titles in uppercase is yelling, however.

Bolding on SI is with "<A>" to start, and "</A>" to close, without the quotes of course. Just substitute "b" or "B" for the "A".

When one does a cut & paste, the emphasis is usually lost .. so I'm beginning to use an asterisk before and after .. as in "<A>*emphasized text*</A>. This is the plain-text method of emphasis often seen in the earlier days of e-mail.

Similarly, the quasi-standard for italics in plain-text environments is the underscore .. thus "<A>_italized text_</A>". Just sub "i" or "I" for "A".

Use of the asterisk and/or the underscore is a matter of personal choice, of course. I tend to use it since .. when doing a cut & paste of my own stuff .. I'd like the bolding to be there. The asterisk let's me "see" where to reinsert the "<A>".

Hope this helps, Ron
