GERRY TANK to THIERRY FERNAND, 12-09-2001:

I still have the email which was CC-ed to many people at once.
It used HTML-language, which I cannot reproduce in plain text, 
but this is what it contained:

- - - - - - -

From: "gwtank" <gwtank at msn.com>
Subject: 
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2000 02:20:18 -0700
 
In Memorium
CARL BARKS
March 27 1901
August 25, 2000

- - - - - - -

To reconstruct the message's layout, this seems to be the 
HTML language that gives the same result:

<HTML>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<FONT face="Times New Roman">
In Memorium
<CENTER><B>CARL BARKS<BR>
March 27 1901<BR>
August 25, 2000</B></CENTER></FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

At least on my ancient Internet Explorer 3.0 and Netscape 4.0 browsers,
it looks identical to the email.

Theirry, feel free to ask for any more details. Depending on Gerry's 
permission/objection, I can forward the message in private, but then 
I think it's important that you keep the many email addresses secret.

I've also kept the messages sent to the closed down "Carl Barks 
Message Board". (The server quit that service.) Once I've sorted them
out, I want to put these messages online again, somewhere in the future.
