The mail digester get's indigestion when you send MIME/HTML/RICH Text.

Please set your mailers to be plain text.

Also be aware if you are replying to an HTML message, if you have not
cleared the check box in your mailer for:
([] Respond in same format)

Your response will also go out in HTML.  This setting overrides all other
settings where you have specified send in plain text.

And with one version of a popular PC mail client, it will keep sending all
future messages to the same addresses in HTML until you exit the mail
program.

Use HTML or rich text format, only when you know for sure that the
recipiant wants to see it.

Use VCF cards and PGP only when the recipiant requires them.
