Re: [Evolution] Advice

actually, if the list email address is in your contact list and you've 
told it that it should not get html, Outlook is smart enough to know 
that the email shouldn't be HTML after all. but yes, if it can't know, 
it can't know. but it beats being asked the question when 99% of the 
time, it's ok to send html. and besides, the list should be set up to 
either reject HTML mail or handle MIME and take the 
multi-part/alternative text version.
