change in formatting

Hi all,

I've just installed the four hundred and sixteenth revision to
The Mail Archive core software. That alone is kind of amazing.
Anyway, this update may affect you if your list has HTML
formatted messages.

In some but not all cases, HTML mail messages are also shipped
with a plaintext version of the same message. This is for backwards
compatibility with various mail user agents, and is codified
with the miltipart/alternative mimetype.

As of 5 minutes ago, I've instructed The Mail Archive to always
prefer the plaintext version of a message whenever it has a
choice. That may make some list archives a little less colorful
or font-a-riffic. On the upside, this should reduce some problems
when the HTML message is grievously corrupt. In particular,
some YahooGroups lists recently started having very serious
problems with sending invalid HTML messages - leading to
blank archive pages.

Anyway, that's what's going on and as always yell if there are
any questions, concerns or problems.

Cheers,
Jeff
