If you look at the website message folder, you'll see people's e-mail
addresses or names in three different colors: Blue, Red, and Black.
Mine comes up red whether I post from the website or from e-mail.
Anyone know what this is about?

They've automatically encoded the email addresses as links, so that
clicking on them brings up a mailto: form. The colors (unless you've
altered your default browser color setting, I believe that would be
blue, *purple*, and black) are just like any links:

blue: hasn't been visited (you haven't clicked on it)
purple: has been visited (you have clicked on it)
black: this email is hidden from view (by choice of member or use of
a non-standard address), so it is actually not a link, and is text
just like the rest of the page.

I can only assume at some point you've clicked on your own email
link, which must mean you are sending mail to yourself. Shame!

It's your karmic aura Paul. Red means you need to eat less red meat and more vegetables and pulses
