The problem I believe is when you start a new message. Email me off list with a new message and I will confirm if it is also plain text. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Hmm, he may be waiting for you to do it, while you're explaining to all these moms out there why you may think that top-posting in this ML would be considered good netiquette? BTW, I'm not condoning thread hi-jacking either . . . To Dale: have you tried setting up new addresses in the Seamonkey's Address Book with and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and for each of these select to only send plain text messages? From previous threads I remember that you can send plain text when you respond to a plain text message in this ML, but not otherwise. This could be that you do not have both addresses above set up to only send plain text format. WARNING: I have not yet used Seamonkey, but vaguely remember something like this in the old Mozilla/Netscape features.

Re: [gentoo-user] HTML vs. Text messages (WAS: Is GWN dead?)
I'll keep that in mind when I am sending email to the list from Thunderbird. I'm also aware that many corporations block HTML mail to lower the risk of a staff member opening up an infected/laced email (generally on a Windows computer) so text emails are more advantageous in that regard.
