 Many of Daniel's posts over the past couple of months DID have have an HTML version attached (the posts were 'Content-Type: multipart/alternative;' with a text/plain and a text/html part - which is at least better than HTML-only posts) - his newsreader was attaching them (the HTML source has bits in it that indicate it was generated by a variant of Netscape which he says he uses). His last few posts have been plain text only though.

 What depends on your newsreader is which of the two alternative formats it picks when you read or reply.
