Well, the browser didn't pick the colors for the links, just used the
defaults. If you specify one color or a background image, then you should
specify all 5.

Take a quick peek at http://www.htmlhelp.org/faq/fep/fep.html#BACKGROUND

No reason you can't be good technically and artistically at once. :-)

Seems it has been said that blue (the deep blue of default colors of
links) is not a well focusable color for the eyes and I had thought
that meant for all eyes whether or not 20/20 vision, think someone
suggested it was only the nearsighted or farsighted afflicted by this,
although perhaps more correctly, bad eye sight doesn't help at all and
dark blue (indigo?) is always the least focused of the rainbow of
visible colors; the black backgrounds make the medium blue of links
seem like indigo whereas white shows the medium blue, and I can see
white backgrounded blue fonts far better than the black backgrounded,
bad eyesight or not (glasses, you know).>

Anyone see the run-on sentance above? Wish I could've made it show up
blue ^g^

I started to do the same for that whole paragraph and backed out since
it meant rewriting it basically. Lucky for us all I didn't or there
would be less meaning to the name Ken Tyler here (if ever--- not!).
That means since you did do it... well, think we all know the rest.

Doesn't show up blue here.  I think it might be a bug. :)

Yep! A bug in that cheap software you use :)

Heh.  Most people know that without having to read the headers, just
from my constant harping on the subject.

But I have to ask you... can you get source code to your newsreader?
Err... whoops... you don't use a newsreader.  It thinks it's a 
mail agent:

>X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en]C-PBI-NC404  (Win98; I)

Note for the humor impaired: please insert a smiley after each word
in the above post.  And yes, I know about www.mozilla.org.

Which is just fancy window dressing for a built in feature of Netscape v4.51.
