Instead of attaching the entire newsletter to email you will get links to the newsletter and the Internet sites mentioned in the newsletter. This will keep the size of the file smaller, which will keep my email provider from identifying me as a spammer.

Let me know how this format works for you or if you have any problems.

This newsletter comes out mid month in Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, and Dec.
