-the code you see is indeed HTML code
-cause: the Digest software is outdated, eg software stems from the early 90's.
Software that stems from the early 90's, when it was a common standard to
only produce (the old hat) ASCII popup messages as emails
(where popup = the "3-liners": Hello, All is well & Goodby, eg.
the -content less-messages).
This was also because the printers in those had to be shared with others and were
only capable to produce black&white print outs, eg text only at first and later for the
"regular print jobs" added were some simple drawings, again later to be followed
by images etc., eg rich printing.
It is thus not your OE program that's at "fault" here, but plainly the Digest's mailserver
software inabillity to properly produce the of late 90's stemming mails in the
everywhere else commonly accepted standard plain WYSIWYG email format.
(Hurray for Win 95).
Thus as a Digest-member too, you are still witheld often very vital information.
The workaround (for the moment, until Equis gets it Digest software fixed &
updated) is therefore for you to also become a regular List-member in stead.
This way then you can not only benefit from directly reading the full emails in your
mail program(f.e. OE), and/but be as well informed like any other List-member gets/is,
(thus this mail information should also be available to its sister group, the Digest mailers)
and therefore also view the mail's full contents in the outlay and in the format when the
mails were produced originaly by their senders in the first place.

folks,
its a pleasure to read your exchanges. My pleasure would be enhanced if I
could figure out how to read your HTML coding. All that flows down my
Microsoft Outlook Express screen is a streams of HTML coding that I cant
read. I present an sample;
" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dwindows-1252" =
http-equiv=3DContent-Type><!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 =
transitional//en">
<META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff>
