RE: EXACTLY, Something is causing Mailman to ignore or strip out body of his emails.

Rick, 

The email I received from you directly (not via the list) had no content
other than the quoted text. But it was HTML. In fact, the quoted text is
in a table cell. Here's the source code for the message: 

<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' ><tr><td style='font:
inherit;'><br><br>--- On <b>Thu, 5/8/08, Combs, Richard

Maybe someone familiar with Yahoo mail has some idea of what's going on
and how to fix it. Isn't it possible to send plain text messages from
Yahoo?
