While I certainly prefer text-only, I think it is worth being fairly
forgiving on this list. One thing I would note is
Ok So I am a day late,
I said I would get this sent on Friday, and plumb forgot!
The results on the poll were surprising considering the amount of HTML mail
seen
on the list.
They were also disappointing, out of the entire subscriber base, there we only
16 responses.

that way it would be possible to make it either plain-text or HTML or
some other format that pleases the person running the system.
While we are talking about it I would love to be able to add attachments
