Hi,

By plain text I did not mean to imply the alternative was HTML, I just
meant traditional plain plain text, no MIME multipart, no
quoted-printable encoding. Just a header and text. :)

Your message (and those from some others on this list) has 3 MIME
parts: Body (quoted-printable encoded plain text), GPG signature,
Mailing List Footer. Here's a sample of the end of your message:

Although there have been hiccups when a kdepim update has switched on html=

without my knowledge, I do normally send plain text messages.  In fact I th=
ink=20
the message you refer to is plain text - at least I can't see anything that=

suggests that it isn't.  My gpg signature on messages means that they are=20
always reported as MIME.multipart.
