Unfortunately, pasting from word does some funky thing to the formatting.
(Like the nice font i see your emails in.)

I'd recommend the following to avoid any fancy stuff I'd have to yell at
your for from being sent to the list. (Being as the stance on all teh
dumpshock lists is plain text only. ;)

Copy paste from word straight to a txt file (notepad, not wordpad) then copy
it out of there, into your mail.

You can test the output with me, and I'll let you know the format it is
being sent in.

I didn't have any plans for a sequel per say, but maybe other stories
featuring Marbury. I'm glad it's been well-received. I'd love to hear more
feedback on it.
I'm afraid the format got horribly mutilated somewhere in the machine.
What I did was cut and paste a Word document into Outlook Express and then
mailed it to the list. Those 20s and equal signs (not to mention the
gibberish reprint at the end of the post) were not in my original document.
Can anyone tell me how to avoid these problems in the future?
