I have absolutely no idea what this case is in the first place or what's relevant since the OP never clearly explained what his goals are. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

From the pictures he posted, it's obvious to me he used TextEdit in RTF mode to display a web page. In light of this, Michelle's deviation about how TextEdit can be changed to plain text mode with a single click in preferences has no relevance. It's as simple as that. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.
