Rather than respond individually to the 3 or 4 people who recently had
messages bounce, I'll post here:

313 list doesn't accept multipart-mime messages. That means you need
to select 'plain text' as the message type in your mail client.  Not
only that, but you have to actually check the message format before
you hit send, because many clients seem to choose HTML or Rich Text
formats on their own, even if you've told them to use plain text.

What's the rationale?

1. MIME-encoding makes the archives and digests unreadable and
difficult to search.
2. Some people still use text-based e-mail programs.
3. We old school.
4. It's the words that matter, not the font or text color.
