Subject: blank messages come from non-text such as html (re your 22097) 

Hi Ron,

Thanks for posting to cryonet message 22097:

I appreciate your posts in general.  For example, you have written
some important pieces about our (i.e., cryonicists') great need to
cooperate despite the fact that our backgrounds are so different in
politics, religion, belief about scarcity, what computer systems we
use, etc etc.

Now, Kevin's software rejects messages which are not text, and it deletes
the second half of doubled up html encodings (where the message comes
out once as text, then as html).  You've seen the [ AUTOMATICALLY
SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ]  message.

This is extremely useful for those of us who use mail readers which
don't mess with non-text mail.  (I'm resisting the urge to explain in
great detail why this is so desirable.)

If everybody posts in the most common language (plain text), then
we have no problems.

Thanks again for posting, and i hope you and i are both around for
many more years before being frozen, stored, and revived. 

dan
