[Trombone-l] From listowner regarding blank posts

As a favor to our inline digest members we strip HTML content from
posts.

The default composition mode for most email programs is now HTML.
Unfortunately some mail programs do not follow the email standards that
require a plaintext version of the message be sent along with the HTML.
Hotmail's web interface comes to mind as one of them.

According to one list member the web interface for Verizon's FIOS does
not allow a plain text message to be sent, and it does not send to
plaintext version with the HTML either.

In order to avoid the blank posts please set your email program to send
plaintext to Trombone-l.

Since I don't have access to all the email programs I won't be able to
give much support in setting them to send plaintext messages.
