  Yah... in your mail headers, I saw that you were now using Lotus
Notes.  You have my sympathies.

  I don't think it's fair to say you did, at least not without more of
a sample.  This list has over 300 subscribers, and 50+ of them post at
least once a year.  To date, I've think I've seen a total of two (2)
people with any serious complaint about MIME and the like.  It could
be we simply have some vocal Luddites (hell, I'm usually one of that
group), and most other people are perfectly happy with this radical
new stuff from circa 1988.  Or maybe everybody here thinks HTML mail
is ugly, promulgated by Microsoft and AOL, and an evil waste of time,
money, and bandwidth, and they're just keeping quiet.  I dunno one way
or the other.
