horror of the plain text/html nightmare 
. go to your compose screen and at 
the top you will see "RICH TEXT FORMAT" unclick the RTF and you should be 
all set. Good luck!   (by the way guys, did this come out OK?)
Thanks everyone for your help

Thanks, Attie, for this information.  I thought others on the list might be
interested in seeing this.   Paula

Dear Paula

I promised that I would send you the chemical analysis of Spirulina.
Here it is. It is from a study that compares Spirulina to fishmeal in
chicken food.

Amino acid composition of Spirulina platensis compared to a few dietary
components.

Kris,

We respire in a world of 21% O2.  We're not fish most of don't have gills
and we don't take in oxygen through our GI tract. Everything from there
digresses including water with O2 injected in it. I would be interested to
read the DO level of these after they've set around on the shelve for a
while. Someone came up with Vitamin O a couple of years ago. Right now there
is Pi Water which uses magnets in the water. Save you money and don't waste
your time with these. These are not under any regulation. Sooner or later
they will make way for the next snake oil coming down the pike. A little
science goes a long way.
  Just my opinion as one whose career is in water processing

Arlos
