I've lost a number of messages from listers because their mail systems
are set to send messages in html or mime - unfortunately the default in
Micro$oft software. As most UCE is sent in html I have found this a good
way of reducing it, but it does mean that messages from those with
incorrectly set mailers is also lost.
