Hmmmm, I guess you are not able to receive HTML messages. I'll see if there
is some way to set it to automatically send text only for this particular
address. I have my mail set up to use a nice looking stationary and the
server that gets this or the server that receives these messages must
convert them to text and use attachments for the HTML portions. When I reply
to a text message, it automatically replies in a text format.

I don't know why some people are having this problem. makes it tough to send
URL links in text mode. I receive messages in both text and HTML formats. I
like the HTML ones, because I can simply click on the links. I do not have
these problems. I get a message in HTML or text, whichever way the author
sent it. I suspect that some of the people complaining, have a seerver
somewhere along the line that is converting my messages to MIME format.

I really do not know what I can do on my end. I just write messages in HTML
format and am not going to change my stationary for a few people that have
problems with HTML.

I am not the one doing it. I send HTML formatted messages.

I don't know what you are talking about. I send no attachments. I send HTML
messages.
