Hey, I'm sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes. Something changed and I thought it should be noted that someone noticed. My choices had not changed since I started receiving the digests. I was not blaming anyone just expressing my opinion. I don't use Outlook and never have this was a change made by someone else. I use Netscape to read most of my mail and it called the individual messages "Outlook Express Mail Message".

I have since changed my options to plain text and the last digest I received was back to the former format.

I certainly did not mean to offend anyone. I subscribe to this list for help and I appreciate any that I have received.

Thanks, Dale

Hello, I want to formally express my dislike of the format of the last digest I received.

You have your choice between RFC 1153 digests and MIME digests (which apparently you chose).

Multiple separate Outlook Express messages as attachments is a very unhandy format for casually scanning the messages for something that might be useful for my site.

Its rather poor form to blame Mailman for your choice of tool's (Outlook) abject failure to present a decent UI (or otherwise work worth a damn in general).
