[DeTomaso] Fwd: Re: List access test: @list.realbig.com vs @realbig.com> DON'T send HTML!!

[Richard Barkley]

Mike,
Hmm, that seems odd. Unless, somehow, your mail program is flagging fwd 
messages as HTML. Looking at the email source of your message (which 
containded text and HTLM versions) forwarded to myself as text only 
didn't show anything unique in the message except the "Fwd:" in the title.

I'm now forwarding it to you and the list as a test. If it fails posting 
to the list, I'll send it without the Fwd:.

Richard,

The problem occurs also because the list will not ever accept any
forwarded messages, HTML or not.

How do it know that a message is forwarded rather than originally
generated? That's PFM, I don't know the answer. But I know that if I
want to 'forward' something, I have to copy and paste the raw text into
an original message.
