[AT] 8-volt batteries in 6-volt tractors

Henry,

Your message is apparently in something other than plain text and there must 
be some sort of script running in the background.  I say this because when I 
click on your message my computer prompts me to download an Arabic language 
pack.

I'm not fussing at you.  It's just a warning in case there is something 
going on you don't know about.  The only other time I ever see that is when 
I accidentally open some spam e-mail message.  It's usually Chineese that 
I'm instructed to download.

Charlie
