RE: Fw: A public statement of thanks from Jon 'Sheer' Pullen

Actually Victor, I think Joe was referring to your software having a
problem *reading* the ASCII text that was in Jon's message[s].

Jon's software was sending ASCII *and* HTML/RTF and the list server
stripped off the HTML/RTF version.  Those of us (Joe, me, etc.) whose
email software is set up to read the ASCII text saw every one of Jon's
messages just fine, without the "attachment deleted" message.  If you
are able to configure your email software to read the ASCII content
instead of the HTML/RTF content by default, then when someone (like Jon
;^) inadvertently sends a multipart MIME message to the list you will
still beable to read it without any special effort.

Of course, if you leave your software as it is, you can be the watchdog
who alerts people when their email software is not sending plain ASCII
to the list, which would be valuable too (though it makes reading the
list a bit more trouble for you).

Cheers,

Roger.
