...Your apology is accepted.
Karl, I do not appreciate you copying to this list material which I sent to you on list (snipped from below).Peter: Sorry, I forwarded only that which I though you would find inoffensive. Sorry, my mistake.

What is leaving my computer is html standard. Somewhere, and the headers of messages you sent me do not show where, it is being translated to MIME: is it when it leaves email.com, as a front end program accepting emails at ibiblio, or at an intervening node? Neither of us knows. ...
... An html messages will arrive at another html reader without losing content, however, it will show up on a MIME reader as gibberish. Obviously, MIME is far more limited than html.
Html mail is a feature. MIME is a far more limited email standard, is a feature. The two are incompatible, that too is a feature, not a bug. ...
... That there is not a good translator from html to MIME is also a feature (unless there is a claim that such a translator exists). ...
That ibiblio accepts only MIME encoded messages is a feature.
Be up front about features, that ibiblio accepts only MIME, and it would have saved a lot of hassle and time.Well, I think it has been clear from the very start of this discussion that the b-hebrew list accepts only plain text MIME e-mail, and not HTML e-mail. In fact Kirk Lowery wrote this on 10th July; he didn't explicitly mention MIME, but he made it clear that (for reasons which I would contest, but that's another matter) HTML is not accepted by this list.
