I've noticed on rare occasions, that regular contributors post an HTML or
multipart message as a follow-up. I don't have one handy to check, but I
suspect that's due to Netscape Messenger (and I think Outlook may do it
too) having a setting that normally sends plain text, but HTML-ises a
reply to an HTML message. I'm pretty sure the regulars who've let that
happen have done so unintentionally.

You can blame Eudora as well. They implemented a new "flowed" display
that changes text set off by > into a change bar sort of thing. Unfortunatly,
when you reply to a message that is already a reply, it turns the mess
into some kind of RTF (html is mostly used.) I have my Eudora configured
to ASK first before sending this, and to set "send as text only" before
it gets launched. If you don't configure it to ASK, it goes out RTF'd.
And it appears that Eudora turns ALL messages into HTML internally (when
I do a "view source" on any message, I get HTML for everything - even
the rfc822 headers. I've complained several times to the Eudora tech
support and have never received an answer...)

I'd send to Gary but, you know ...
Go to the options panel and turn off "use microsoft viewer" and it wont
convert to HTML. It will still "flow" it however. So this message has been
"flowed" by Eudora, can anyone confirm or deny that it is in HTML or RTF?
(I see it as having two change bar type things on the left side.
