I presume that your question is aimed at Keith. Yes, Keith's emails have a HTML part and a text part. A half-decent mail client should be able to read the text part even if the HTML part exists. But I believe you're reading this from gmane's Usenet mirror, is that correct? Perhaps there's a problem with gmane, or your news client, or both. Since this is officially a mailing list, HTML mail is discouraged but not strongly discouraged (that ship has sailed a long time ago, more's the pity...) so long as the sender includes a plain text part too. Which Keith does. Keith, if you are able, and would be so kind, you'll help solve this issue for Dave if you configure your mail client to turn so-called "rich text" or formatted text off, at least for this mailing list. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
