The problem isn't that it's frustrating, it's that the e-mail
is so screwed up that it's almost impossible to get the information.
Especially when put together as a digest.

Not on this list it doesn't.  As List administrator, I reserve
the right to unilaterally make some decisions, and making the
Merry Rose a *text only* e-mail list is one of them.

So, I repeat... The Merry Rose is a *text only* e-mail list.
HTML e-mail is NOT appropriate for it.  If you want to send
HTML e-mail, do it off the list.
