Lotus Notes... *shudders and develop a facial tic* I worked at a site where they used that, but I'd been blocking the memory out until you revived it. I have a setting on my list-server profile where I set "plain text". On re-reading the blurb however, I notice it refers to digests.

I spent 3 years in a Notes shop. It had its uses, but HTML and web applications were more standard and easier to work with.

Switching this on would probably fix any font problems.
