I think what happens with the Web front-end is I see it composed in HTML and
there is no option to turn it off, so I assume it's going out that way... I
guess not.

Dan, it seems I get your messages in HTML format only when you reply to a
posting, your 'original' posts (when you create a fresh thread) seem to ne
plain text.

Anyone else see that ?
