Technical glitch w/ OBRA list?

Chris et al -

There's a bug that we're aware of but don't have the time to fix. We
have a long list of to-dos for the OBRA site and this is on it. It's
been on our list since September of 2006 (or maybe even before then)
when you (Mr. Brandt) first pointed it out. We're just plowing through
other stuff first.

If there is a programmer out there that wants to submit a patch, great!

Please feel free to mention this in your "Airing of Grievances" on
Festivus. We don't mind one bit.

Happy Holidays,

Cheryl

I believe HTML emails don't show up, only plain text.

I view the list online. I don't get them in my email box (thankfully). It seems that quite often, when certain people post emails to this list serv, they appear blank. It may be only a matter of concern to those who read the emails on "web only" format. That includes me, as well as many others, I am sure.

I don't know the solution, or the actual cause of the problem, but I do know that it has been going on for a long time. Is there any possibility that this could be fixed on our precious OBRA site? I like to read EACH and EVERY important email you all post, but sometimes I don't get to. ;)

Maybe it has something to do w/ rich text vx. simple text formatting in particular emails? Who knows. Not me. I appreciate all the awesome work that the website folks have done. It has continued to improve each year!

Happy Holidays,
Chris
