[Dixielandjazz] MIME FORMAT MESSAGES

[Stephen Barbone]

List mates:

When folks post messages in "MIME", below is a sample of what my Mac
receives. (This is from the "blues" post)  AN ADDITIONAL COPY OF THE
MESSAGE IN REGULAR TEXT MESSAGE FORM IS ALSO RECEIVED

are:<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a. wine<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b.
=
whiskey=20
or bourbon<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c. muddy=20
water<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; d. black =
coffee<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The=20
following are NOT Blues beverages:<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a. =
mixed=20

If it is only my machine, can someone tell me how to block the gibberish
but still retain the regular text form?

If it is not only me, but happening to others on the list, can someone
program the list server to block the mime format?  Or failing that, how
about you folks who are posting in MIME. Could you be persuaded to post
only in PLAIN TEXT?

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
