YOu can add to the list that Outlook, among other new software, sets
html as the DEFAULT, and newbies have NO idea that they're sending this
out and it's coming out as gobbledygook in other people's mailboxes....

As for attachments, you should see what they do to the digest version of
any l-soft list ... at least when you get lists individually, you can
delete the ugly thing.

I use a line limit of 250 and that seems to keep out the worst of the
attachments, but not the nuisance V-cards.  But it's a constant battle
teaching newbies how to reset their mail so it will come out in plain
text.  I really wish that listserv would ADD those instructions to their
standard welcome message.
