For those that are worried about the possibility of getting a virus from
html mail, you should be aware that there is a 'command' that you can send
to the 'mailman' to tell it to only send you plain test messages.. here is
a 'cut and paste' of the relevant information.....
set <option> <on|off> <password>
Turn on or off list options. Valid options are:
digest:
Receive mail from the list bundled together instead of one
post at a time.
plain:
Get plain-text, not MIME-compliant, digests (only if
digest is set)
To obtain instructions on valid Mailman email commands, send email to
<rtty-request@contesting.com> with the word "help" in the subject line or in
the body of the message.
