[ROVERNET - UK] Just purchased three Rover P6

[Eric Russell]

I'm innocent, your lordship.  Didn't touch it -
honest.

Kent,

The Rovernet-UK server seems to be unforgiving with
regard to HTML.

I haven't played around with message forms on the
Yahoo groups list so I don't know how it reacts to
HTML messages. Maybe the "Rover_net" list accepts
HTML.  I don't see any reference to a Plain Text or
HTML requirement in the Group Management section.

When you're free between 1:00 am and 5:00 am, you're
welcome to experiment  :-)  ROFL
