Isn't rich text sent MIME encoded as an attachment? I thought it was. If so, then wouldn't this (Attachments= No) be stripping it out? Try 'Attachments= Yes' and see what happens. I wish I knew for sure, all I know is that everyone I ever asked that question to ("Just exactly how does rich text get sent?") didn't have a definitive answer either. -Jim -- Jim Serwinowski [log in to unmask] UB Listserv Administrator http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu On Wed, 31 Jul 2002, Teresa Moore wrote: > Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 14:00:52 -0400 > From: Teresa Moore <[log in to unmask]> > Reply-To: LISTSERV give-and-take forum <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Outlook/Rich Text Format > > Thanks for the feedback.

If I send a rich text formatted message from Outlook 2000 to my own account--(that I view within the same Outlook 2000 client)--it comes through with formatting displayed. (The latter scenario does not involve LISTSERV, because the message is not sent to the list. Under Properties of this formatted message, "Type: Message (Rich Text)" displays). > > Here's the list header: > > Confidential= Yes > Language=HTML > Owner= [log in to unmask] (XXX) > Owner= quiet: > Owner= [log in to unmask] (XXXX) > Review= Owner Only > Subscription= Closed > Notify= No > Send= [log in to unmask] > Auto-delete= No > Notebook= No > Reply-to= Sender,Respect > Ack= No > Errors-To= Owner > Validate= Yes, Confirm > X-tags= No > Default-Options= Repro, Full, Mime > Attachments= No > > Any ideas on this one?
