Hi Scott,

Thanks for the question. No, it is still preferable to send "plain text"
postings to Tweeters. Unfortunately most mailers default to rich text
which includes HTML. This really makes a mess of the digest-nomime which
many subscribers use and I use to put the digest on the Web each day.

Additionally, rich text commands sent to the listprocessor many times
don't work as it can't recognize the text inside of the formatting.

Thanks in advance for complying with this request for "plain text,"
