OK, one last time, then.  Picture me saying these words very, very
slowly and with exaggerated patience:

The bracketed words were inserted by the listadmin when he manually
approved your post, to explain the delay (on account of HTML contents).
You appear not to have noticed or understood his explanation.  I was
attempting to call your attention to that explanation.  

If you don't want your posts automatically intercepted and held for
listadmin attention, don't post HTML.

Got that, now?  _Yet_?
