So.

As I understand it -- and my understanding is quite
likely to be
at least partially faulty -- News Groups AND e-mail
were
originally designed to pass messages back and forth
in TEXT ONLY
FORMAT. Text still is the mail and news Standard.
However,
M'soft and others (including Apple) in their
"wisdom" have
devised means to send e-mail and news posts in
other,
non-standard, formats so that they can be received
that way IF
SOMEONE HAS A MAIL OR NEWS READER THAT CAN ACCEPT
IT. If not,
they receive a pageful of "Greek" characters, or
they get text
(which is nice) but they also get that damned
suspicious
attachment.
