| Yes, it looks fine. I just don't like the concept of having the same plain

The typical multipart posting has plain text (encoded) in one part and
HTML (encoded) in the other part.  Usually the text contains all the
information of the HTML version.

The sometimes-mangled TLUG footer clearly states:

| TLUG requests: Linux topics, No HTML, wrap text below 80 columns

So yes, there is something wrong with multipart MIME messages to TLUG :-)

I, for one, dislike HTML mail.  It doesn't work with my workflow.
Most mail that I get that is HTML is SPAM, marketing, or drivel.
