I cannot find the reference, however, I am fairly certain that I have seen documentation which advises that command messages should be in plain text format. Recent versions of some email clients allow you to set a flag in an address book entry to specify whether messages for that address should be plain-text, HTML, or mixed. If your email client software supports this feature, you may want to consider creating an address book entry for your listserv server command address, and flagging it as a "plain text" message recipient. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator University of Notre Dame
