My 8:47 message below was sent as plain text, which seems to confirm Joe's observation that HTML (and rich text, BTW) get converted to an attachment but plain text goes through as composed.
On a related note, which may serve to help identify when the system change occurred, I was going through all the messages about the cutting boards this evening - I've not had a chance to order mine yet - and noted that all the original message stream (which started with a message from Stu on 1/10/22 at 1:47pm) were readable as complete messages. On 1/26/22 at 2:52PM, after a total of 20 perfectly readable messages, the first message with an HTML attachment appeared. Since that date 5 of the 7 messages have appeared as HTML attachments. Perhaps an approximate date for the change will help identify what is going on. Sent in plain text format so you software types can read this..... I hope.

I have only ever used rich text as far as I can recall, and previous messages have all gone through the system and been visible with no problems. FWIW, the content of the earlier message was: But the answer begs a second question: What has changed that messages using HTML format, which used to be visible just as plain text messages were, are now converted to being an attachment? (sent in Rich Text format, which my crib sheet says can contain formatting but is primarily compatible with Outlook or Microsoft Edge.)
