Interesting... is this feature documented anywhere online? > As I mentioned in my previous message, I'm totally fine with an HTML > digest that text-based MUA users can ignore.

People who use web based mail won't be a problem. Then there's TB, Outlook/Windows Mail (I think we can forget about Outlook Express finally), Apple Mail... Pegasus? Old versions of Eudora? How many more? I really don't think we should be worrying about mail clients that have a tiny user base, just document which ones don't like the new digest... > Or put it another way: if there are RFCs for this, follow them.
