You are right !
One of the first things I turned off in my mailer was this stupid sending
html format. (And yes, everybody who is sending mails to a bunch
of people at the same time, like on a mailing list, should do this.)
But - surprise ! - I found a switch that still said "return in the same
format",
just as you suspected. I switched this off immediately, so I hope I will not
pass the infection on in the future. Unless there is another hidden
mechanism
that will turn it on again automatically after some time ...
Thanks for the hint,
JH.
