Well after an afternoon of fun with my tech support (and list member David
Mitchell..thanks!!! here is what I have to report. All mail I have sent
to the Olympus list, according to my tech support, has been in plain
text. They archive sent mail for 3 months. Every piece was apparently
checked. I have also sent mail from my service here to others operating
Linux and other non Microsoft-based products with success. So I have no
idea where the HTML some of you are receiving. I certainly hope HTML
users will not be booted off, as I would appear that there may be issues
others may be experiencing that have nothing to do with HTML. Maybe the
list server has some issues? In any case, I will try to reduce my
postings but there is not alot I can do. It was an interesting afternoon
though..better than work.

Bill,
What email client (software) are you using? Check the options carefully
and scour the "Help" file. I use Eudora Pro and one of its options is
sending *both* plain and formatted (a.k.a. HTML) text. *IF* I use the
"both" option, it sends a multi-part email with both an HTML and plain text
version of the same message.
BTW, when I quote an HTML message I remove all the formatting (as I did
with your quote above). I have another option set to query me whether or
not I want to send a "formatted" email if, perhaps, I forget to do this.
