Many of us use mail clients that do not read "html", i.e. mutt, pine, etc. You want to build a web page? Fine, use html. But if you want to communicate with the list members, use text....

Ronm - did you know that your message came out in html? I see you're using Mozilla. IIRC you can set individual entries in your address book as preferring plain text, and in preferences tell it to translate the message to plain text if the recipient doesn't want html. HTH
