I already did let you know, quite clearly in the material that
you quoted which I have left in place above.

If you want to check, I have put the message in question up on
my web site in exactly the form that it arrived here.  You can
check it at <http://www.gbch.net/frank.brand.txt> and you will
see that it was indeed "multipart/alternative" with both a
"text/plain" and a "text/html" part, both of which were also
infected with quoted-printable encoding.

If people don't want me to read their web pages, then I'm happy
not to read them.  If they do want me to read stuff, they will
produce it in a format that I can read.  This includes using
fonts that I can see with my old eyes and writing in one of the
languages that I speak and not using stupid html/java/foobar
tricks in their web pages.
