About the only thing that's going to work is a whacking great big prompt
*in* the mail client that points to the space below and says:  "Type your
reply down here."  Clues need a clue-by-four.  Those that ignore the
clue need a red hot branding iron.

In all serious, without an explicit instruction, well ahead of time,
some people are never going to know better, never mind about those who
don't give a damn.

Screenshot:  http://imagebin.ca/view/BRrykNv.html  which is deliberately
over-the-top, to be amusing.  I had thought of using GIF, so I could
make it flash, but I think that might have been going too far.  ;-)

I tried posting it here, but it didn't seem to make it through.  So
rather than risk a double *big* post, reposting it, I've put the image
separate from the message.  If there's a size limit to attachments on
this list, I don't know what it is, and it doesn't seem to notify the
original poster about any rejections.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
