[DeTomaso] List access test: @list.realbig.com vs @realbig.com sending plain + HTML

[Richard Barkley]

  Dave,
One possible explanation for this is that your email program _*sends out 
both plain text and HTML*_ in the same message. This is a test of that, 
it contains plain text followed by html. :-) . Also, I discovered that 
Thunderbird has a preference one can set for each of your mail accounts 
that has to be checked to send HTML (it's under Composition & Addressing 
for the settings of the individual accounts). With it unchecked, only 
plain text goes out and forwarded HTML mail is converted to text only. 
If you see it from the list, you'll know that's why it works for you. 
After sending this message I'm unchecking the box.
Richard
