There is software now in beta (PairList) which will include options to
allow a person to subscribe to a list and specify what mail format they
prefer, such as HTML. It then sends messages in that format to them.
Then if I subscribe as text only, it will strip any code and attachments
I'll receive the text only. If you then want to see the html version,
you can look it up in the web based archive.
For now, I'm running parallel lists for text and html subscribers and
stripping the code at procmail before sending on to the text only list.
Less painful methods of handling the various email modes is approaching.
