No; then I have to clean them up.  Send them if they really speak to 
you, or send one a day; but take off the top stuff.  To do that, 
arrow down to the beginning of the message, hold down control plus 
shift with your left hand, press the home key (the middle one in the 
top row of the six pack), release control and shift, then press 
enter.  Shift tab back to the subject line, erase it because it only 
gives the name of the list you got it on, type in your own subject, 
then send the message.  HTH.

Blessings,

Linda
