there's always going to be some inconsistency and conflict here. I 
don't know anyone who does it well for everyone unless they do (like 
we do for a lot of our stuff) separate enhanced and plain versions of 
postings.

If you want to avoid the issue, you can use something like de-mime to 
strip all but the text part off messages. That's what I do on a 
couple of list servers I run, mostly because I haven't gotten to the 
point of writing a customer "active content" filter and I'd rather go 
with no mime than risk letting active content through that could 
contain viruses.
