Thanks Allan,
I have been noticing the same thing for awhile. I guess my own strategy henceforth will be to completely *IGNORE* any and *ALL* questions which I cannot read on the UGA archives without going blind. I hope others will follow the lead. Basically the message to people seeking solutions to your quandries: Make it *EASY* for others to assist you. If your data and code are confangled/mangled between a S-load of HTML formatting characters, then I for one am not even going to bother to think about answering your questions.

Once we know whether the problem persists in "digest" mode, we should
have it down to a few possible situations 1) that 1996 version of LISTSERV cannot have HTML in the archives or digest . 2) it is merely a setting that the list manager (or the host site) can fix, but would only apply to future posts, the old archives can't be fixed. 3) the archives have a setting that the list manger (or the host site) can fix, and it will apply to the old and new archives. 4) the digests have a setting that the list manger (or the host site) can fix,. 5) ...?? P.S. I not that David's message has bolding. Ergo, it has HTML.

Hi Art,
Yes indeed, the problem persists in Digest mode from UGA Listserve. I just get digest and have to read the contents by opening the attachments ;-( Usually end up logging onto the List and viewing the topics there and only utilizing the digest for the topic names. I have added a bookmark to Nabble. I am looking at my posing on Nabble and UGA and it does not show up as Bold in my viewer. Q: does the word 'this' *THIS* show up as bold?

Some programs do render the *text between two asterisks* as bold. Those some programs no doubt render the _text between two underscore characters_ as italics too. IIRC, Thunderbird does this. (I used to use Thunderbird when I was at a university that still had a news server.) Reading via Nabble, I just see the asterisks in your post.
Use of the asterisks and underscores is an old usenet convention, apparently. See Solution 2 here: http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/CharacterFormattingRules When it comes to composing in Nabble, the default appears to be plain text. But there is a tool bar at the top of the composition window with buttons for Bold, Italics, inserting images & hyperlinks, and emoticons, of course. The Bold and Italics tools insert the usual html tags around the highlighted text.

Interesting. I simply flanked either side of upper case "this" THIS with asterisks .

asterisk asterisk THIS asterisk asterisk in normal font.
I just got off the phone with l-soft. They said that the They suggest I try set spssx-l mime set spssx-l digest and see if the digest is ok I already had mime and HTML so now i have sent set spssx-l digest to see if the digest is ok. When I get one I'll get back to the list. It seems that the archives will still have the HTML codes rather than using them. Does anybody on the list have the contacts at his/her own university to find out how much it might cost UGA to upgrade? Does anybody on the list have the contacts at his/her own university to find out if someplace else might host the list? Art Kendall Social Research Consultants.

Regarding Art's last point, I still think that we should all just move over to the comp.soft-sys.stat.spss newsgroup. Those who prefer mailing lists to newsgroups can subscribe via Google Groups, and participate via e-mail (with various options, such as every message, digest, etc). Those of us who like the newsgroup format can use it that way. My last rant on this topic can be seen here: http://spssx-discussion.1045642.n5.nabble.com/Mailing-list-vs-newsgroup-format-td1092261.html#a1092261 By the way, I gave the Nabble archive link, because too many of the posts in the UGA archive for this topic are full of unreadable HTML. ;-) http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind1003&L=spssx-l#65 Cheers, Bruce
