. do this: hit "B" key and save your fractal information to a PAR; you are given the option to name it when you do this. It is an ascii text file - it will open in notepad. Open it in notepad, hit Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C to copy the whole thing. Then paste that into your reply to the fractint email list. This way it is only text-ascii and shouldnt be "scrubbed" any more than normal commentary. .
