I am a long time Mac user, as well as a user of Apple's Mail.app and my
understanding is that Apple's Mail.app lacks support for some of the
HTML elements that LISTSERV embeds into its HTML digests. We Mac /
LISTSERV users have two choices with regard to this issue. We can either
subscribe to the list(s) in a different mode or use Thunderbird or
Outlook (as you discovered).
