Hey Tesa,
Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.
I have had some information on this forwarded to me and it appears it
is an issue with MS clients not conforming to the appropriate RFC's -
apparently Netscape Clients are fine.
The information is below :)
Regards,
Damon

I have an issue, and if anyone can help me to resolve it, that would be
very much appreciated.
I've been trying to configure HTML-formatted digests for my list. My
problem is that the Web Archives for our list are behind a firewall, and
thus, external users in regional offices cannot use the links within the
mail. I would like to find a way to force the HTML digest to actually
include the -text- of each email message, as opposed to just a link to
the content. Is there a way to do this?

Unfortunately, not all browsers that support HTML also support the HTML
Digest format (which is built according to the RFC for HTML Digests).
Make sure you do not have SHORTHDR set on your subscription, as that
would definitely prevent you from seeing it correctly. But if you don't
have SHORTHDR set, then you have an email program that doesn't support
HTML Digests, and therefore you should try the plain MIME digests, and
if that doesn't work, you'll be stuck with the plain text digest.
Unfortunately it takes trial and error to figure out which form of
digest works best for you.

No. Try Netscape Communicator. MS mail products are known to not
comply with the HTML DIgest format.

My members have the same problem Damon so I signed up for the HTML
digest also. I'm using windows 2000 and I couldn't open the links
either. I've not been able to find an answer so I've been getting the
NOHTML MIME digest instead.....Tesa
