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

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.
