A proper answer!! ;-)

Kyle, you have been asked before to send your messages in plain text
*NOT* html. There are several newsreaders out there that show a lot of
rubbish when they read your posts (have a look at the source of Ron's
reply)!! 

I just saw that you use Netscape 4.5 on Win95. OK!

EDIT>PREFERENCES>MAIL&GROUPS>MESSAGES>MORE OPTIONS>ALWAYS CONVERT
MESSAGES INTO PLAIN TEXT

I hope this helps,

Marc
