Thanks Russell. Which client? I believe you use Mutt. Does it have a "rich text" view mode? Doesn't it make url's clickable even in plain text? I ask because when I received my mailing via Mail.app, it too was as you describe. I then asked to see it in the "next alternative" view and it went from plain text to html/rich text. Url's are clickable in all modes, I believe. I agree about latex/pdf being an alternative, but it's not mail. I'm looking for a casual way to chat about math within email itself. This could be a fools quest! I will say that, just as I find I need two browsers (Safari and Firefox in my case), I also need two mail clients (Mail.app and Thunderbird). In browser land, I have to use Firefox for MathML because Apple has not implemented it yet. And Thunderbird seems to handle other mail issues better than Mail.app. So maybe to do math in email we'll have to be willing to use multiple mailers or possibly Nabble.
