That's a MIME digest, which you enabled by unsubbing and resubbing :) In 1.8c, if LISTSERV determines that your mail program is MIME-aware, it sets the MIME personal option for you. What you need to do to go back to regular digests is SET ANTHRO-L NOMIME . The reason you didn't have it before was probably because you subscribed under 1.8b or before. Either that or the mail program you used to subscribe originally wasn't MIME-aware. Nathan
