Odds are, the message was sent as HTML-only, i.e., the message consisted of
a single MIME part with a content type of text/html. When you configure a
list with 'Language= NoHTML', LISTSERV deletes HTML MIME parts only if the
message contains at least two MIME parts and at least one of them has a
content type of text/plain.
In May 2001, I submitted a change request which stated:
The use of 'Language=NoHTML' in a list configuration should result
in the rejection of a single part message with the content type of
'text/html', accompanied by an error message to the sender of the
message.
See <http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0105&L=lstown-l&P=R5948>
for the complete text of my message.
Hey, L-Soft! When are you going to address this issue?
