RE: [flasher] Missing Flashers

[Paul Willoughby]

That explains a lot...I thought JD might be just taking a well earned break

:)

I didn't realise about the ban on HTML emails, although it must be pretty

infuriating for MM staff if they don't have control of the format their

email is sent out in. Now you mention it, this list has been pretty quiet

for the last month or so. Well, I agree something should definitely be done

about this.
