OT: HTML mail and multi-part mime [ not Re: list syntax ]

There's an increasing number of HTML posts on this list. It's not always productive. If page layout and font styling are such an important aspect of the message that you must send HTML formatted mail be aware that you'll lose some of your audience.


As an example, when Jeremy wrote to the list this is what appearing in my mail window:

When an empty message arrives I presume it was sent by accident. He sent three messages - all looked empty. Only after Mr Tea responded did I bother to ask why he could get something where I couldn't. A quick squiz at the raw source shows that the multi-part mail headers of Jeremy's messages are badly formed. Did everyone else get a badly formed multi-part mime message from Jeremy, who is using Apple Mail (2.746.2) or is my mail client, Apple Mail (2.623), doing something funky?
