OFF-TOPIC: plain-text vs html [WAS: RE: perl@17303 snapshot (onAlpha VMS v7.3, cc6.5, tcpip 5.3)]

1st, Apologies for posting this to the list;

but I'm seeing my postings to the 'vmsperl' 
coming back in HTMl format.  bad netiquette, and all that.

I'm chasing dn the possible reasons w/ 
our local email admins.  (and, of course
I'm sure all the twiddly knobs on this wretched
email client are set to 'send in Plain-text')

Do the rest of y'all (vmsperl list members)
see this msg in HTML format?  

(I suppose it's possible a list-server
 could HTML-lize the incoming msgs, but I *really* doubt it..)

thanks -

-ldb

Subject: perl@17303 snapshot 


In the march toward the next 5.8.0 release candidate, there is another 
snapshot today, details below.  More testing with your favorite 
configurations and extensions is encouraged. As you can see from Jarkko's 
to-do list, there are some remaining issues with D_FLOAT.  Other remaining 
issues I'm aware of are: 
-  openpid.t hangs on pre-6.0 VAX systems 
-  abs2rel() is not completely reversible when the default directory 
   contains a concealed device name 
Patches welcome.
