Sorry Dave, your tools are letting you down again. Michael did in fact 
post with plain text. His original email included both a text/plain part 
and a text/html part.

Now I'm no friend of posting in HTML, I think it's a poor idea from both 
a technical and social perspective, but I also realise that the horse 
has bolted on that one. The best we can hope for is for mail clients to 
do the right thing when posting in HTML and also provide a plain text 
version. If your client is unable to deal with that, you need a better 
client.

'Cos he's a newbie and probably doesn't know about the date module :-)
