First of all it's a long standing unwritten rule of listserves that you should only post plain text email messages. Also don't be sorry for causing inconvenience just stop causing that inconvenience in the first place. It's much easier for you send your email as plain text then for everybody else to switch their email readers. Exactly what do you get out of send out HTML email in the first place? >May I recommend IMAP to you all (as an alternative to POP or telnet), then >you can access your mailbox using any gui on any OS using a wide variety of >mail clients (including pine/elm/etc).

Or perhaps you could write youself a mail >script that filters out "Content-Type: text/html;" MIME body parts when >there is a text/plain available? IMAP has nothing to do with it. And once again why should we have to write scripts or switch our favorite email clients just because you are too lazy click one button and turn off HTML email. >Sorry. Don't be sorry just turn it off. :wq Tim Uckun US Investigations Services/Due Diligence http://www.diligence.com/ -- This message has been sent through the <phpXML/> user discussion list.
