Re: lista

[David Ford <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Netscape sent it multipart because he chose both text and html for the
message.  The message was sent as both text and html.  This allows for the
reader to choose plain or 'enriched' viewing.  This is having it both
ways.  People who gripe about enriched content can read the plain text.
People who want the markup can view it as well.

It's a configuration choice issue.  What you viewed was his entire
message, regardless of whether your reader displayed it in text or html.
I also use NS messenger as one of my preferred readers and I'm able to
view his message perfectly.
