John, Actually that's MIME text/enriched encoding, not HTML, which is why Netscape doesn't understand it. Current Eudoras display both HTML and text/enriched formatting, and Pro versions can emit MIME tags. It is possible to turn off Eudora's formatting toolbar, and there's another setting to allow/disallow/warn-before-sending stylized text. Tell your correspondent to check out Settings...:Stylized Text and warn them that Netscape users aren't able to read their formatting. Chris Pepper PS-I don't think LISTSERV knows about this MIME header, although its arguable that a text-enriched stripper would be a useful thing for non-MIME users. It seems to be a fairly uncommon and easy to fix problem, though...
