Actually, you're an example of what we'd like to see more of. The package 
contents order in your message is:


   1   ~40 lines   Text/PLAIN
   2   ~73 lines   Text/HTML
 
In other words, the text version came first, and displayed without a 
hitch.

But, what do you mean "intended?" Do you mean you "intend" me to see 
certain fonts, and certain types of layout in your message? It ain't gonna 
happen, pal. This is not what goes down here--except perhaps for those on 
this list who look at mail with their eyes on their video monitors. If 
that's what you mean, your "intention" would be an insult here, and I 
would certainly resent it. I trust you don't mean that.

Actually, most power users I know of use text interfaces a lot. It's the 
only way to get much work done. But, I guess you don't know about that 
yet.

Yourself included, I suppose??
