[Tigers] Here is the Solution to Disappearing Message Content!

[Steve Laifman]

Mauro,

There is yet another option.  I use "Thunderbird" (free from Mozilla), 
and it allows sending in "Plain Text", "HTML", or both as an option.  I 
usually use "Both" if I am sending a message to the List and also direct 
e-mail.

Works fine.   :-)
