Agreed. My .mailcap file copes with most stuff but I still would rather
see postings as plain text. As for one line replies to long quotes, I
very rarely bother to read posts that do not contain replies within the
first page. T-prot is useful for hiding overlong sigs. I've seen some
sigs that run to over 20 lines.

Regards, John
