What about sending emails in both text and html? I don't know exactly how it works, but my mail client offers that ability (and still have it be one email)? Thanks for all of your suggestions. In my eyes, there is something that this project has that _The C++ Standard Library_ by Josuttis and other wonderful c++ books don't. Sure this book is wonderful and you can learn a lot from it, but it lacks interaction. Besides just being able to ask questions, this interaction helps motivate. The reason why I have not yet posted lessons in web accessible form (except for archive and infra purposes) is to avoid "Book Syndrom" (please disregard the acronym of it). What I am worried about is if everyone knows that there is a huge collection of all of the current lessons, they would feel bound to trying to read the web-based lessons first. By the time they try to read the lessons, they may already have lost motivation. I may end up putting lessons on the web, although I am cautious of walking the fine line of Book Syndrom (although this could probably be avoided by not having a website index). --proph, jw Timothy A.
