Heh, gotta love ISP's.  I was just curious if that was something you were
doing on purpose or forgetting about or what.  It seperates threads here in
gmail which can be confusing when looking for answers, but no big deal.

The HTML thing in Gmail has baffled me for a very long time.  Some users see
it, some don't.  I have found no way at all to make everyone happy and turn
it off completely.  As you said, suggestions are welcomed. :)
