[Gloucs] I-WORM/Opas.A

[bjh]

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the reminder about the html facility, we had recently reinstalled
parts of the Operating System and had forgotten to check the html sending
and receiving format - have checked and it had been allowed - this aspect
has now been changed to text only.

Well done for the thought!

Best wishes...... Barrie
