[SunRescue] RE: Bill's Big-Honkin bandwidth!

[Ken Hansen]

I have to grab web sites via email at work, no "real" network access. Yuck!

I forget the name of the service I use, but the main stumbling point is that
pages come back as *pure* text, I'd like to get *html* mail to look nice
inside of Outlook - anyone know of such a facility?

Ken
(Trust me, aside from the above limitation, it is a *very* cool place to
work... ;^)
