I'm not opposed to the rich text format but it seems to get all screw up 
when it's sent to a discussion list. I select plain text only when I 
send email to lists such as this. I'm using Netscape 6.2. I suppose I 
could use something like fetchmail or pine but I'm too lazy to take the 
5 minutes to configure it. Frankly, I occasionally need to look at and 
print html formatted email (invoices and the like). I suppose I'm in 
danger of turning this into a discussion list so I will stop.
