<pre wrap="">Dear Fellow Arisaema Enthusiasts,

Somebody said that only a few people on the list had trouble with
non-plain-text messages. There may be more than you think. I'm not gettin=g
the annoying blue background, but I am getting a whole bunch of junk --
formatting directions ("padding left", "padding right", etc.) Sometimes
approximately 75 per cent of the digest consists of this kind of thing, a=nd
most of the rest of it consists of repetitions of the same message and it=s
formatting codes. It is a nuisance to have to look through the digest for
the few nuggets of important material.

For lists of this type, it is thoughtful to send your message in plain te=xt,
and not to quote the entire message to which you are replying.

My A. sikokianum sent up a leaf but did not produce a jack this year. Sam=e
with A. taiwanense. I am hoping for better results next year.

Digests can be difficult to read in traditional Digest format with all
the multi html formatting, but you can solve this in your Arisaema-L
settings by setting Digest (MIME format). 
 
You can find a link to these personal settings in the Archive main page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://listserv.surfnet.nl/ar=chives/arisaema-l.html">https://listserv.surfnet.nl/archives/arisaema-l.h=tml</a> 
If you like me to change your settings, let me know in a personal
message. 
 
I think it is not really advanced to return to only plain-text postings
ano 2007. Where do you find a mail client nowadays that doesn't
understand html?

By the way if you are thinking of an other mail client, consider the
free Mozilla Thunderbird. Easy to install en to import all the data
from your old mail client. I was lost when Eudora put me back to the
lite version and I couldn't fix the problem. Mozilla was my solution
and it is really great like Firefox is (much better and safer than that
foolish Microsoft IE [sorry to say Bill] and multi platform available).<b=r>
