Hi

I sometimes get a message with no text in [the body], just the subject.
Can anyone put some light on this?

[It happens when people submit messages for posting in HTML or mime-
encoded formats.  I've tried to straighten them out using the list-
server editor but there is embedded formatting which the editor can't
seem to get at, so while the posts appear ok on my end, certain of
your email programs respond to this strange formatting by hiding the 
message body.  In the future I'll do my best to recognize those posts
and resubmit them using the accepted settings.  If you (or anyone else
out there, for that matter) have the subjects of the messages which
arrived without content, please pass them along to me via private email
(marvkaye@olsusa.com) and I'll forward you copies of the originals.  
Needless to say, it would be much better for all parties involved to 
simply use the plain text settings as outlined in the List Posting
Guidelines and eliminate the problem at the source.  Sorry for any
inconvenience this is causing anyone.
