[PLUG] PLUG list rejecting HTML e-mail...

OK.  Thanks for the heads-up! 

I had finally come to the conclusion that I was the only person left
on earth using non-HTML e-mail.  Also, some recipients of my mail had
complained that their mail clients defaulted to tiny unreadable fonts
for plain text.  So, I recently switched Thunderbird to HTML mode.

I've now switched it back to plain text for messages sent to the PLUG
list, and HTML for everyone else.

BTW, I tried following the links to the scrubbed HTML attachments,
but the links are dead.  Did they expire or something?  Or were they
always dead?  If so, why is the PLUG list configured to delete HTML
attachments and then send out dead links to them?  Why not send out
links to the archived messages at the PLUG Web site?

Anyhow, check out my recent messages that you may have missed:

Hi Fred,

Your emails are not coming though the PLUG list digest...  You seem to

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
