Speaking about this, actually I was one of the subscriber that was publishing mail in html from work despite my best attempts at sending in plain/text. I sincerely apologize about this but I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out the reason and could not find it until today. I was wondering if I was crazy since I was receiving the mail in non-html while sending them to me..until I looked at all the headers a little bit more and found that this was always multipart/alternative. I digged some information and found the problem..at work, I have an Outlook client with an Exchange Server in the backend..and it always overrides content-type and set them as multipart/alternative http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q222/5/08.ASP Now I have to tell the guys in MIS to apply the service packs asap. Note that I agree about the text only list. I don't want to read emails with pink background and a green WingDing font with some fancy pictures between paragraphs or that needs to download the chinese fonts because of the charset encoding. -- Stephane Bailliez, Paris - France
