Neil,
1) in the HTML thread (it will be tidied by Joe Offer each couple of days).
2) if you type <a href etc. this will be read as an address as in your post above and the > or the < you have typed will not show in the message. Of course, you have to type something else, if you want them to show for us. You have to type (now it's getting difficult for me and I might make a mess) < to get us see < and > to get us see >, both of which this time are not interpreted as HTLM characters.Wolfgang
