this can leave things fine both for users and search engines


if the code is not well rendered in your e-mail client use this url:

<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http://www.osgeo.org">

</head>
<body>
<h1>www.osgeo.net</h1>
<p>if you're not redirected to www.osgeo.org in 5 seconds click <a 
href="http://www.osgeo.org">here</a></p>
