RE: Formatting of listserv messages

If you look on http://www.w3.org, you'll see that the <XMP> tag was deprecated in HTML 3.2 and dropped completely in HTML 4.0. I'm guessing that most HTML clients (browsers, e-mail, etc) these days at least *claim* to be HTML 4.0-compliant -- MS products for one are NOT -- they may look all goofy.

My $.02 :)

the mail is quite strange - the text/html part of it does not contain valid HTML but something like:

<XMP>Hi all,</XMP>
<XMP>...

...which is most probably problem of the sender configuration

the text/plain is hardly readable (that's what u've seen)
