[Amps] Why some messages are unreadable?

[Administrator]

The Mailman software used by the contesting.com lists does not 
support HTML mail.  Some individuals are using "html only" 
clients that make html mail look like text mail by embedding 
the fonts, etc.  The Mailman software does its best to strip 
html (to avoid graphics, viruses, worms, spam, etc.) and other 
attachments but there are times than it cannot extract the text 
from the "garbage." 

That's the nature of the system and software.  Those who choose 
to continue using html mail clients are likely to find their 
postings reformatted or missing due to the automatic actions 
of the list software.
