How about splitting the newsgroup into straight text and an RTF newgroups. Normally, NeXT users running the RTF newsreader will post to the RTF newgroup and have the newsreader automatically strip out the RTF and cross post the message to the plaintext group. This will create a lot more net traffic, but I never said it was a perfect idea, it just solves the problem of excluding non-NeXT readers. phred -- Steve Menyhert | Motorola Incorporated phred@oakhill.sps.mot.com | Microprocessor Products Group "Honesty, Integrity, Generosity, Compassion" | Austin, Texas 78735-8598 - Suzanne Vega/Phillip Glass | m/d OE112 (512)891-4457 "For the lesson lies in learning, And by teaching I'll be taught.
