I thought my message was clear too.

The message itself was empty before I sent it. The file called
bla.html had .html as extension but did *not* actually contain any
HTML, because mailman converted it from html to plain text. It was
always an attachment, from the moment I sent it. The list changed
nothing at all except for turning the HTML into plain text - not even
change the filename of the attachment.

My mail client has no options that I know of for anything other than
plain text. I have not worked with any that I was aware could do RTF.

Most clients used by 'common users' (or at least Outlook) can do plain
text and HTML. Most of them are set to HTML by default. People could
change that, often they do not. Why force them if we ca have the
mailinglist convert the mail anyway?

As I said, your objections about my mail are unjustified, because no
actual mail client will send mails in that manner. Or did Laurens'
mail also turn into an empty mail with an attachment?

Hugs,

Wynke.
