Ladies and Gents

Can those of you that use mail gateways (like MS exchange etc) to send
mail to the net ___PLEASE___ ensure that you are not sending HTML (why on
earth any mail gateway would convert a normal message into HTML without
at least setting a reasonable mime type is beyond me).

It's very hard for me to wade through a message like this one from Igor
at UCLA

I've just tried new beta 2 release. Booom!
Polite shutdown thru msqladmin hits with infamous Sig 11 (the same result gives UNIX kill).
Beta 1 in the same configuration worked just fine.

Blahh!!!! My native tongue is English but I can stretch to MIME because that's a standard for mail messages. HTML hasn't been addopted as a mail encoding standard last time I looked.
