If it's a Listserv(r) list, why are you posting here :) (Listserv(r) is a registered trademark[1] owned by the developer of a particular email list management product, and it shouldn't be used generically.) >> Here is her description of the issue.

The .htm extension on the middle "attachment" which I assume is the message body indicates she is not sending a text/plain message but rather a text/html message, and content filtering is not removing the html part or converting it to plain text. The other "attachments" are probably the msg_header and msg_footer as Brad suggests. The FAQ Brad references is the relevant one. The difference between lists may be that this is the only one that adds msg_header and msg_footer. I may not have this exactly right, but the only way to know for sure is to see a raw message from the list or at least the content of the three "attachments" [1] <http://www.lsoft.com/corporate/trademark.asp> -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
