I've got an apparent problem I'm hoping some of you can help me with.  I've
had an auction running for the past 9 days on eBay for my Olympus mount 28mm
f2.0 Kiron lens.  I don't mention the brand in the auction title but I
repeatedly mention Kiron(in bold) in the body of the ad.  Three people
e-mailed over the past week inquiring as to what brand lens it was, etc.   I
gave them a paragraph or two about the lens.  Today a 4th person contacted
me, but he added that he saw NOTHING in the body of the ad, just the title.
Clearly there is a problem here, but I don't yet know what it is.  I've sold
a few other things over the months and have had no known problems.  I'm
thinking it is perhaps a browser, platform, or ISP issue.  The auction comes
up fine for me at work (here) and at home.  In both instances, I'm on a PC
using Internet Explorer (5.5).  Could some of you please take a gander at
the auction?  Please let me know some specifics of your browser, platform,
and ISP if the text doesn't come up for you.  Here's the URL:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1221700298&r=0&t=0&sh
owTutorial=0&ed=985324253&indexURL=0&rd=1

The first line should say "This manual focus Kiron lens has outstanding
resolution and is in near-mint condition. The glass is clear, clean, and".

Thanks very much to anyone who can help me pin this down.

P.S. For what it's worth, the ad was written in HTML.
