Vorbis - Jun 2003 - HTML emails (was: New Member seeks advice.)

> You didn't send unsubscribe messages to the lists, so what's left?
Right:
> you sent HTML emails! Come to think of it, you just did it again. :^)
Actually, he didn't.  He sent a multipart message, with a
"text/html" section
and an equivalent message in "text/plain".  Other than a little extra 
bandwidth, I don't think anyone minds multipart messages.  I certainly have 
my email client set up to prefer the "text/plain" version when given
both.

I'm pretty sure Monty is talking about HTML-only messages.  And if he'd
sent
one of those, you never would have seen it because the list software drops 
them.

You would surely get a very wide range of opinions about that. As for 
myself, I'm not certainly the most fervent anti-HTML email bigot out there.

I was actually wondering how his messages managed to pass through, and your 
explanation makes perfect sense.
