Most E-Mail clients send a multipart-alternitive type message, with a text/plain and a text/html version of the E-Mail. It is generally possible to set this to 'text/plain' only. And when you compose a text/plain you can put in 'formatting' using typewriter type formatting. IMHO, HTML E-Mail is evil and seriously bad news. It is a secutity risk, amongst other evils. *I* use an E-Mail client that neither creates nor handles HTML E-Mail. > ------------------------------------------------------ > Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users > Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 > Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 > Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/heller%40deepsoft.com > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services
