This one was, but the earlier message that started this thread
came in "multipart/alternative" with plain text and html parts
that were both mutilated by quoted-printable crap and no attempt
to identify the quoted material.

I'd be more inclined to suspect Outhouse Express myself, but
then I use Unix tools when writing to Unix interest group
mailing lists.

Then you should have used your editor to fix it -- that's what
editors are for.

Greg (who would like to see these lists drop html message bodies
      completely and drop html parts from multipart/alternative
      messages.  It's simple enough to do and improves things
      for everybody.)
