Hmmmmmm - I am experiencing this anomaly recently too. I've been on the
lists for more years than I care to remember and originally used Claris
Emailer under legacy - moving to Entourage in OSX (mainly because the
interface is a dead ringer for Claris). The body of the mails I receive is
set in my Entourage preferences to display in fixed width 10 point Monaco -
used to be 9 point but now I'm over 60 and so are my eyes. The vast majority
of the mail I get from the lists displays in this format but there are
exceptions which appear to be html type format....like this one...

This did not appear in my client as fixed width nor was it 10 point
Monaco - it was double width and in a Helvetica type sans serif font. Whilst
this one from the same source sent shortly after....

displayed as my normal fixed width in 10 pt Monaco. Similarly posts from
Stephen Conrad about the card reader are also double width and not Monaco
but the smoother Helvetica (or whatever). I don't have a problem with this -
in fact they look better as Monaco is not a particularly nice font. I
suppose I could change the font but us oldsters don't like change. But I AM
wondering what is causing plain text (if it is plain text) to display as a
html lookalike...? Is this message in good old plain text for everyone?
