It would be a reason to immediately change ISP if my mailing list would break all signed e-mail. Also, there are many lists where file attachments are not that uncommon. While I do not like html mail, I doubt that generally stripping MIME is a good move. Any ISP should install that only on request for a specific list. cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
