If I remember correctly, the email in question only contained the html. I
deleted it and yes I use pine. When you've got hundreds of emails to go
through, you don't have the time to save to a tmpfile and browse with
netscape or scan with a text editor. I agree with the others, if you want
everyone to read it, send it in plain text (and it doesn't matter if you
attach html to that or not as long as the text is there).
