You can also decide to receive the messages in a MIME digest, where all
these HTML and non-Latin-1 settings will be displayed properly.

I almost sent a message without changing it to "plain text" last time. I hope I didn't send the
previous ones as MIME. I had got into the habit of systematically checking but recently I didn't
have time to reply (the interesting discussion on sequels for instance ), so I may have forgotten:
my apologies if I did.

The easiest thing is to always send plain text, as that is guaranteed to
work in all email clients.
There is little to be gained from sending HTML anyway, and it makes life
so much easier for everyone involved if you just send plain text. If you
have need for things like different fonts and headlines etc. and are
unable to get what you want using plain text, you're writing something
that doesn't belong in email anyway...
Remember that, unlike what M$ (and others) would like you to believe,
it's the *information* that counts... not how it looks (and that's out
of your control anyway, since HTML can be rendered in about as many ways
as there are breadcrumbs in a loaf of bread).

Wait a minute!
Where did the careful statistician Harry Fluks go?
:-)
Browsing through some 1000 digests (3 years, I've accidently deleted my older mail),
I actually find *3* "Harry Fluks-only" digests (#201, #632 and #888).
That puts you in the lead, together with Don Rosa (#638, #809 and #875).
The third place is shared by Steven Rowe, Gary Leach,
Olaf Solstrand and Daniel van Eijmeren, all with two "private" digests each.
About twenty persons (including myself) each have one digest they can claim as their own.
You are also one of the few who have your own digest with two messages.
I don't think any of the "private" digests have three messages or more,
although you come pretty close in #277 with three out of four messages.
Most of these small digests appear in the summer.
Specially July 2000 was a heavy "private digest"-period...
Statistics are fun!
:-)

I think it was in Egmont Comic Creation's web page, ecn.dk. Which doesn't
exist at the moment. Pages've been coming back "soon" for years now.

Another page I just added:
http://viedartisteawd.free.fr/bh.html
The first and only "real" comic books we had here,
similar to Micky Maus in Germany and the weeklies in
nordic countries. Theses issues are very rare. The
paper of the comic-books is so bad that it's a miracle
that an issue survives after 50 years.

>>>I think they are interesting enough for us DCMLers. Or were you
embarrassed
that Gilles pointed to a possible inking mistake?
Gilles asks me these questions in a public forum, therefore I must answer
them in that public forum otherwise I would seem rude. But answering them
also tends to make it seem like I automatically think everyone else should
be interested in all this "Rosa trivia" he asks me about, which I doubt. So
the only choice that I have is to answer them in public, but suggest that he
might consider asking me such questions in the private messages I also
regularly receive from him. However, if he chooses to continue to ask me
about such matters on the DCML, this is where I will gladly answer.
I am *never* embarrassed by mistakes I make because I make plenty, more
often than not I point them out myself, and I *like* readers to point them
out to enable me to correct mistakes in the reprints. I make a sport of my
errors. When I used to write information columns in fanzines 25 years ago, I
had an opening feature, complete with logo, called "DRASTIC FUBARS",
spotlighting all the errors I made in the previous column. That doesn't seem
like a way to try to hide my errors, eh?
