Please use plain text for B-Greek messages

Now that we're getting back to normal, I notice that we're getting messages
in styled text from some new and from some longer-standing list-members.
May I ask all list-members please to set their e-mail programs to
"plain-text only" (i.e. no HTML or MIME-formatted messages) when writing to
B-Greek. While the styled-text messages are perfectly legible (in whatever
font or patterns with all sorts of neat diacriticals used in the original)
on the screens of those who have one of the more sophisticated e-mail
programs, they come up looking much like gobbledygook on screens of many of
our members. So, PLEASE use only "plain-text ASCII" for B-Greek messages.
Thanks.
