I agree with you, Tony.  Life on the Mississippi---nothing garbled about
that.

As probably the only working software engineer (MS Computer Science,
FWIW) on the list, I feel obliged to offer an opinion.

The reality is that we live in an HTML world - the World Wide Web is largely
based on it. Our listserv is old technology that does not support HTML. No
one's email was 'cured', rather some worked around the existing problem. It
may be time to archive the listserv and move to other (free) technologies,
such as yahoogroups or googlegroups, that understand html.

To keep this Twain relevant - I've temporarily  put volume 2 of the
autobiography aside and have gone back to the first hundred pages or so of
"Life on the Mississippi" (Oxfford). I can't re-read that enough. :-)

regards,
Tony Verhulst
