Hi, folks -

This is to let you know that we've written a new filter for HTML
messages on RootsWeb lists. Instead of bouncing all HTML messages as
we've done for the last year or so, the new filter just converts the
HTML to plain text.

List admins don't have to do anything special; the filters are already
enabled. This change ought to result in less mail getting bounced
unnecessarily from your lists and fewer confused subscribers.

I'd like to take this moment to acknowledge the important part that
Netscape Communications played in developing this software. Were it
not for their efforts to add HTML to e-mail, this work would never
have been necessary in the first place.
