I know that. I can do that too to read html (get lynx). However, there
was not cover text saying "look at the (whatever) attached" or
something. It was just a series of attachments that didn't come up as
plain text. How am I to differentiate this from all the spam on the
list without opening at least one attachment from every piece of junk?
The code of conduct says to send as plain text and to avoid sending
large attachements.
