The screenshot shows Thunderbird displaying text/html of the multipart/alternative message. The context is that Baptiste Daroussin asserted: "Note that the mailing list engine will reject html only email, html is fine as long at it is created with text/plain alternative. Note that only the text/plain alternative will be used to construct the archive [snip]" That multipart/alternative message containing text/plain are "fine" is a plain misconception. These days almost all multipart/alternative messages contain unreadable formatted plain text, let alone that I several times received multipart/alternative messages with a text/plain saying "yes" and a text/html saying "no". IOW text/plain and text/html of a multipart/alternative message could be two completely different texts. The archive of this mailing list does not show what Thunderbird displays by your screenshot, since it shows another part of the the multipart/alternative message than the part the archive does show. Regards, Ralf
