Okay, but I believe that the "This message is in MIME..." message is part of
the incoming message. If you will check your email outbound document you will
probably find that your MIME compliant documents tag this or a similar
message to their alternative text.

So really what you are upset with is that some people still send HTML email
to the list. However, since the list server selects only the text document
portion of the email we get the "This message..." text and the text alternate
portion.

Bottom line, the guys paying by the character are still better off because
they would have had to receive the full MIME document consisting of both HTML
and Text alternate.

However, if you could convince all posters to modify their emailers to change
the outbound MIME header, you could reduce the number of characters.
