Please do not put HTML messages on Usenet. Besides often being
illegible, they are also a danger on systems that can read them.
They can carry the output of script-kiddies. Just use pure
unadulterated plain text.

Why not just set your newsreader to read in plain text as well then?

Because some newsreaders can't do that.

Telling Nemo not to post HTML is not going to stop script kiddies. Being
illegible to a lot of newsreaders is enough reason though.

I did. The above is how it then displayed the html. I am protected,
but the world isn't.

Of course not. However, the absence of HTML on Usenet encourages
readers to run without having HTML reception enabled, and thus
makes those readers immune to that particular set of script
kiddies.

The MythTV Ubuntu Installation Guide
<http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php> has a section on Testing Your
DVB Card which should get you up-and-running. If you're on Ubuntu 7.10
the saa7134-dvb kernel module will load automatically; if you're still
with 7.04, you'll need to load it by hand. Post again if you need
guidance on this.

Best wishes.

I use HTML because this is also my mail reader/responder and I can't use
different setting just for the news part. My sister always sends me HTML
and I don't want to try to educate her from 600 miles away. At 72, she
is a retired, top rank nurse, and intelligent enough to learn some
tidbits I send her but she does use windows and IE and Outlook that came
with the pre-install. I'm the 'baby' brother at only 59, but we are both
information and learning junkies to keep the brain functional. Senility
is just brain rot from lack of use and we both know it and won't go down
that path.

According to your headers you are using Thunderbird 2.0. You can
always arrange to send pure text everywhere, and enable receiving
HTML only when you are reading email, or even email from your
sister. Tbird can also control the output line length nicely. I
set mine for 67. It doesn't apply to quotes.

I have given up trying to persuade my daughters (in their 30s) to
switch to Linux. I'll concede they have some reasons
(applications).

BTW, your sister is still a kid. :-) I also have a 50 ish retired
air-force chief nurse step-daughter.
