Please -do not- send HTML email to the list. It is not tolerated well on this list.
Why not?
Many of us prefer to use simple text-based mail clients. Having a bunch of HTML tags embedded in the email is a major annoyance and makes the mail virtually unreadable. There is really no good reason why HTML should be used.
Plain ASCII text is compatible with all mail clients and that should be what's used for mailing lists.
The mail was multipart and had one plain text section and one HTML. Perhaps your mailer doesn't support MIME standards?! I never saw the HTML, as kmail nicely showed me the plain text section of the mail
My mail client supports MIME. I don't know which message the original poster was complaining about, but I was just commenting on HTML mail in general. -Ti -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik
