"Please disable any graphic backgrounds you use for emails to the LML.  Apparently any approved message with a graphic background gets applied to the entire digest.  They increase size and bandwidth and slow down some folks' emails.  Your cooperation will be appreciated."

Whoever you are, you are still doing it [again].  He is writing about the cutesy blue sky and clouds backgrounds and the graph paper backgrounds [now a greenish/brown pattern - looks like bacteria].  IncrediMail is one email program capable of this, there are others too, is that you?  It nearly doubles the size of the digest.  Read what he said again, "...(it) gets applied to the entire digest." and then every email message has the cutesy background.

Please, please turn it off.
