Re: [List Admin] Posting In HTML

List,

This is great.  I have been hashing this through my head over the last few
months.  I'm planning a web site that lists step by step instructions on how to
configure your client for text only messages.

http://www.nohtmlposts.com/ or (www.htmlposts.com)

There is nothing there now, but in a few weeks I will have things worked out.


Basically, you will send the site an email, it will read the header info from
your message, and reply to you with the proper instructions.  Should be simple
to use.. little complicated to setup, but simple to use.

Thanks for the shameless self plug.
