Tris, Chris, I've seen this on *all* forums. I don't think it's all to do with Chris' PC - it may also be to do with the forums themselves (though why I don't know). Something to do with the format in which you are reading/composing mails within Outlook! HTML/RTF/Plain text.... check yer settings! Hope everyone had a cracking new year... especially Martin since I gather he slept the day away in order to enjoy the night better ;o) May '02 be MUCH better than... err... ah yes, '01!
