The best format is the one preferred by your subscribers. You can do that by having separate lists (or topics on a single list) for Text and HTML subscribers (and send 2 different versions of the announcements), or by collecting preference information (for example, using a LISTSERV Maestro dataset) and sending emails with conditional multipart. Maestro makes it relatively easy to do -- you define the HTML and text parts and the conditions under which to send text only or HTML/text multipart. The luddites (like me, most of the time) can get their plain text, and those who like eye-candy can get their HTML. -- Francoise Becker <[log in to unmask]> Knowledge is just a click away: http://www.lsoft.com/optin.html
