Of course I can.

What the heck do I want 'procmail' for?

There are a couple of places (at least) where one can control how the 
messages are viewed or sent.

As I send and receive mail in both HTML and plain text I set, on the 
RECEIVE side to see mail in either format.

On the outgoing side, I normally set the appropriate format in the 
Contacts List - and this is where I forgot to set the mail to 
ubuntu-users to 'text only' (like I have for other mail lists).

There is also the option to be asked in which format to compose the 
message but I don't want to be asked every time- I just write it always 
in HTML and it then gets sent to the destination as per the setting in 
Contacts list.

No problemo. All under control using Thunderbird.

Thunderbird Roolz!
