mail reads html ok, but doesnt send it.

there's a hint on how to send html here. but, its kindof a PITA.

the simple way would be to manually make a bullet with opt-8.

...however, mail clients with a different idea of 8-bit ascii won't see bullets.

At least when mailing elderly unix.wizards, refrain from using html in mail and keep it 7bit-ascii.

Code:
                           <center><table
                         cellpadding = "20"
                     border = "20" width = "50%">
                  <tr><td bgcolor = "#FF00FF"><table
                cellpadding = "20"> <tr> <td bgcolor =
               "#000000"> <font color = "#FFFFFF"> <font
            size = "6"><font           color = "#FFFF00" >
