That was done before and with all the '=3D' in the bug tracking messages it was TERRIBLE. 2) A notice should be posted. Some people have their mailers configured to send HTML as well as plain text (why is a big question to me). 3) Perhaps a 'bounce' if the message is in HTML (I'm kinda iffy on this one). 4) Check to see that the digest version looks OK. Sometimes the differences (minor or major) are really bad! Now if we could get rid of ALL HTML mail that would be (Martha Stewart voice here) "a good thing". Alas that isn't going to happen anytime soon (*SIGH*) --=20 Tom Watson tsw@johana.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
