Thanks for this site, too.  This is very useful for explaining to subscribers what they can do

There's another reason not to send mail with other than clean ascii coding; incompatibility

Micro$oft Outlook comes sending prettified mail by default precisely _because_ people who
haven't bought Micro$oft Outlook have a hard time reading it.
