The problem, Kristaps, is that the "plain text and HTML" option is defaulting to HTML by most readers, incl. Outlook Express, and Mozilla Thunderbird I do believe. The concept was that a plain text viewer would read the mime information, correctly select the plain text, and all would be well. While an HTML viewer would read the mime information, correctly select HTML, and all would be well (though HTML mail is evil, see my previous rants).
The problem for Bernd it seems is that very few mail readers offer a choice to "switch formats". Why, if I had it my way, I'd reprogram the servers at sf.net's listserv to allow a moderator option to strip all HTML and force all messages to only be in plain text, through the MIME information. But then, that's my opinion, and everyone's allowed to be wrong. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kristaps Kaupe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 21:38 Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Some automagic SETVER for FreeDOS > Bernd, > > Sorry, but inbox.lv webmail adds these advertisements, I can't do anything > with this (except paying for mail).
