Ouch. Well, if I had sent that VDS stuff as plain text, it would have been
wordwrapped to a total mess and lost all formatting. At least to my email (and
I think netscape) it arrived with all formatting intact. I normally use
straight 75 column ascii text for mailling lists as I know a lot of people are
using older email that doesn't support html formatting.
Double ouch. I just looked at the RAW message I'd sent, I didn't realize it
formatted that badly! Frankly, I was cutting and pasting blocks of RTF.. I
also didn't realize that my new emailler would send the whole body twice, once
as quoted-printable, and the second time as HTML. phhhh! Well, now I know why
I leave the MIME/HTML stuff disabled!
Apologies to the group for that mess(age).
