Re: Kota the Triceratops => listserver problem?

[Paul P <turtlecroc@yahoo.com>]

This is bizarre. I was about to complain about yet another 
useless message because all I see when checking my email is this:


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*         ---REMAINDER OF MESSAGE TRUNCATED---            *
*     This post contains a forbidden message format       *
*  (such as an attached file, a v-card, HTML formatting)  *
*    This Mail List at USC.EDU only accepts PLAIN TEXT    *
* If your postings display this message your mail program *
* is not set to send PLAIN TEXT ONLY and needs adjusting  *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

....Yet, as i reply now, the actual message is obviously there, 
as you can see below. Has anyone else noticed this problem..?
