Should say html at the end. If you delimit the link by enclosing the url in angled brackets then those of us with Turnpike and other well behaved and standards complaint newsreaders will find that links should not break on line wrapping and they will find it easier to extract the url. Like this: http://www.gardening-forum.com/uk/Sp...eties_192835.h tml Of course there is a certain well known newsreader which probably doesn't utilize this facility, but TBH, whose problem is that? -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

Sacha has emailed the webmaster to ask if he /she has permission :) Permission for what? this is Unsenet, once you have posted a message I'm not sure you can really expect to control what happens to it. Has Goggle asked your permission to archive your messages ? The site isn't very well designed but they do have what seems to be a place to request that messages from a specific email address are not displayed. I mean to say, did you all know that your names were flying around the US gardening sites.... I'm not surprised. There are number of website around that give a web based interface onto Usenet. (You've probably seen post coming from the 'Garden Banter' website) This site does say that these are usenet groups on it 's home page, but it would be better if they gave the name of the groups on the page as well. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

The message
from Chris French and Helen Johnson contains these words: Permission for what? this is Unsenet, once you have posted a message I'm not sure you can really expect to control what happens to it. Has Goggle asked your permission to archive your messages ? Well, yes - Archive yes/no, which I believe Google honours, but some other archivers ignore. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

There is another section where you ask for your name to be removed and then confirm that by answering an email. IF that works, I'll let you know. Maybe I'll simply get even more spam than I'm getting now. ;-( I will be interested to see if these messages get there....... -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the 'x' to email me) |
