I'm sorry this goes OT Dale, but unfortunately, my mail client

Thanks

I have it set to send it text for this domain.  Is it not sending in
plain text?  I have the same settings for other mailing lists as
well.

Thanks for pointing it out if it is not sending plain text tho.


It's sent multipart, so the pure text can be used alone for users like 
Qian Qiao. That's how I've set up my kmail (I can view it as html if I 
wish)

To be honest, it's not really a big deal for a list like this. The text 
is 492 bytes, the html is 867 bytes and the whole thing is 4.5k

In other words, the text and html *together* are still smaller than the 
headers :-)

True, but I do try to "go with the flow" here. I use Seamonkey for my email. I went to "Edit" and "Preferences" then chose "Send formats". I place gentoo.org in the text only section. What else can I do to make sure it sends it correctly? I do prefer to send it text only since some do use some strange email programs.

Thanks

Dale
