the same thing happens with gmail, and afaik almost every other graphical email client that supports html emails. With text based clients it's often even worse, since they don't support it at all and show the html code. On some lists there is the option to strip such formatting, maybe you don't see it because you configured it so. > Personally, I'd rather see these mail lists turn into forums formats.

There are various free (as in speech) software forum managers, that example is using one (phpbb) and it's not superior expensive technology, it's just a different, IMHO inferior, technology that works for communities and general chatting, but is not as versatile as a mailing list for technical discussions -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' email: elena.valha...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
