Can the list accept html? If it can, is there any reason why we couldn’t move to using a plain text &/or html based list?
G -----Original Message----- From: kent williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 October 2007 16:59 To: list 313 Subject: (313) REMINDER: 313 list accepts only plain text messages Rather than respond individually to the 3 or 4 people who recently had messages bounce, I'll post here: 313 list doesn't accept multipart-mime messages. That means you need to select 'plain text' as the message type in your mail client. Not only that, but you have to actually check the message format before you hit send, because many clients seem to choose HTML or Rich Text formats on their own, even if you've told them to use plain text. What's the rationale? 1. MIME-encoding makes the archives and digests unreadable and difficult to search. 2. Some people still use text-based e-mail programs. 3. We old school. 4. It's the words that matter, not the font or text color. No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
