Two total failures (text/richtext > and text/enriched), one reasonable success (format=flowed). More than "reasonable" success, I now learn. Dave Cridland (a MUA developer) accidentally broke his MUA this week, so that it couldn't display text/plain, only text/plain;format=flowed. He says about three quarters of his human-generated mail remained readable, and most machine-generated mail (bounces etc.) was unreadable. I'm sure other people will find different numbers if they do the same count. But at least for some people, the very restricted format=flowed has had much greater success than unrestricted HTML. Arnt
