[Gllug] WHY do my emals appear as multi-part & MIME format

Fri Oct 25 18:06:54 UTC 2002

Clear Day My question is why do MY emails appear on my screen in three formats when they arrive on list?
The samples are in case they don't appear the same on your screens. 
I am using Outlook Express with hotmail, if not that is it the settings on my computer. I hope my samples don't change on being reproduced here."Please reply in plain English os I can understand".

Sample No. 1. The heading
