Lawrence, you need to untick that box in Google Groups that also sends




this as email....

PS nospam means nospam. But umra at cockaigne dot org dot uk will get


through!




No problem Kate but ever since I moved for OE to google groups I


haven't touched any settings and just presumed things were okay. Where


is that setting?




I don't know, because I never use the blighter. But I do know that it

never snips (thus producing huge long strings of irrelevancies), mangles

posts (as it's mangled the one you sent), and unless you keep an eye on

it (because it alters settings without your permission), starts sending

copies of posts as emails to the poster you're replying to.



Which all means that any sensible matter in the post gets submerged

under miscellaneous crap....




That'll be a good thing with my posts!
