Sorry to be snippy, but since I've got my system set up to send list mails 
to my newsreader for better threading, I also get to see the raw HTML code 
of all those wonderful HTML emails you folks send.  One of these days I'll 
learn to munge the email headers for sending HTML email in my newsreader 
and send back messages in valid, but atrocious HTML -- does blinking 
lavender text on a green background sound good?  :-)

It used to be worse: I subscribed to the daily digest, which showed the 
raw HTML code *and* concatenated all the messages.  (Does the daily digest 
still show raw HTML code?)  Indeed, that's why I started getting 
individual emails, even though I don't respond all that much here.

And, I suppose that at least we haven't seen any of those [insert list 
member's name] is on vacation autoreplies for some time.
