Hello everyone,

If there is an attached file to this message please let me know. I am
still on Microsoft software, however, I downloaded from Microsoft the new
Internet Browser with a rather nice mail program. I just discovered a
great new feature. If you type in an address in your message, it will come
through as a hyperlink. I can click on web addresses and because the mail
program is part of the browser, I go right to the page included in the
sender's message. If an email address is included in the address, it shows
up blue, and I can select it and respond to that address making it the To:
in a reply and then add the address to my address book. Hopefully, the
problem of the attached file is over. Let me know if anyone receives the
attachment.

Everything that you say about Microsoft Internet Explorer Mail is also
true for Netscape Mail. I agree that it is very convenient to have the
URL addresses come across as clickable hyperlinks AND you can set it to
actually automatically go get the link and it displays below the
message.. Attached files actually are downloaded to the hard drive
with a single click; picture files actually are displayed directly below
the message.

However, I don't think that anyone on this list got your attached file
other than probably the moderator of the list, since it appears that the
messages are somehow cut and pasted or forwarded and the attached file
didn't survive.

I LIKE how convenient it is to share information and even pictures and
files. Wow, things sure have changed in the last year or so..

Anyone know of that source for dextrin from yellow corn?
