This message is to ghamburg, but as others are also frustrated
with the problem, I thought I'd post this somewhat explanatory
post as well as send it in pmail.

M. GHamburg:

I dunno if you are aware of this, but you are sending your mail
as a MIME package that contains two versions, an html version
and a plain-text version.  This is not a standard way to send mail,
but Netscape (which I assume you're using) decided it would be
really cool.  And I suppose it is, if you read mail in Netscape
or some other html browser.

I don't.

It would be awfully nice if you'd change the settings in your
browser so it sends mail the normal way.  In the meantime your
messages go unread because the screen that comes up (see below)
just tells me that I have a bunch of MIME stuff and do I want to fire up
a MIME reader to look at it and who has time for that on the
vanagon list???

Thanks mon!
