I notice that when I get replies to messages, the text of my message is

place in my newsreader (Pan) to choose text (either HTML or plain text).

Can someone confirm for me that my posts include HTML?

Since I got your message it does NOT have HTML or my my K-mail would have
moved it to it's right place, the trash< and I would never have seen it.

One alternative
that I have thought of is that the newsreader in someway is linked to the
preferences of my mail program (Evolution). Another possibility I can
think of is that the person replying is sending in HTML, and my text is
being "converted" by their mailer.

A more likely explanation and since I did not see the replies, ...ah well,
people who post html never have anything intelligent to say anyway. They
just like to use 3 meg of bandwidth to send their two lines of nonsense is
all.
