hello. as far as i know, this is not HTML, it is a unicode message.
   the way it goes through- the list software attaches an HTML file
   after every post, though there is no text formatting of any kind,
   other than recognized unicode characters that remain in the text
   that last post was because some messages can go longer than 77
   characters or make it to the list that way, and i was trying to get 78
   so as to send a plain-text chart versus an image attachment, and
   this with respect to cryptographic considerations of a matrix array,
   as it directly relates to a long history of crypto in these frameworks
   > quoting text is not HTML either, it is basic email software
   again, i do apologize, i tried to append the test to several previous
   messages though could not arrive at a solution and did not want
   to interfere with an unrelated text by having a massive error.
   if everything worked (software, computers, internet, type, gmail)
   and it could be figured out, that would be ideal, yet things are not
   particularly well suited to these basic communication tasks and
   if possible, please filter my posts into the trash and ignore them,
   it is entirely understandable, it was not clear if it was my posting
   you referred to previously and consecutively, though i am not as
   far as is known, sending HTML out from gmail (it does not say,
   it just says: plain-text, and then non-plain-text, which is RTF or
   HTML) though it arrives on list as plain-text, with unicode, just
   as it is sent out, stripped of any HTML. not sure about the list
   software settings because i do not even get copies of my posts
   even though that is the setting. and it says plain-text as far as
   i know, for how to send/receive, and HTML does not make it
   onto the list, except very rarely in my short interaction here
   if you say 'no attachments' and no special characters and no
   html error attachment files (have no idea how to control that),
   it leaves a very minimal text-only realm to communicate in
   that would not allow any diagrams, any charts or data that
   does have relevance to crypto -conceptualization-, ideas.
   i just do not understand how it makes people so upset in
   terms of the content, fucking cryptologic fundamentals
   for fuck'sake. are you really going to go apeshit over a
   crypto diagram that introduces a new concept and asks
   for it to be evaluated, especially to challenge the ideas
   or take other views about it. that is great. though if the
   idea is HTML is this critique, that is THE BULLSHIT.
   please filter me out of your email stream, problem solved.
   then you could stop your recursive bitching and moaning.
   thanks.

     If you *must* support HTML on SMTP, at least have the courtesy to do
     your
     testing locally, rather than globally.  I am sending this globally,
     rather
     than locally, because with the influx of new CP'ers about town, I
     have
     zero doubt that this will be a [re]recurring issue.
