I haven't read rfc822 in a while, but I seem to recall that you can't have ``just'' an HTML message. If you want to send and HTML message, then you need to send a multipart/mixed message with one part being the HTML version and one part being the text version (see the message from mailman for an example). Even if this is not a requirement, a lot of spam filters will flag messages that only have an HTML part. Perhaps the lack of having a multipart/mixed MIME wrapped around the HTML is causing it to match ``the cwe-lug mailing list's content filtering rules and was prevented from being forwarded on to the list membership.'' The real question is why would Thunderbird send a malformed message? I see Ed is using Thunderbird 1.5. Did this problem start after the upgrade? Regardless, the simplest workaround is to send plain text messages: Edit->Account Settings->Your Account->Composition & Addressing deselect ``Compose messages in HTML format'' No one want all those extra tags and bytes anyway. dd -- David Dooling _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
