TalkMail not formatted correctly
In TalkMail dated 31 Mar 04, and now the newest dated 29 Jul 04 and 13 Aug 04, the SMTP headers are formatted incorrectly so that the message is not properly detected as HTML. There are extra line breaks in the headers, and SMTP specification notes that the first blank line denotes the end of the headers defining the message. Thus, the header line for marking the message as HTML doesn't get processed. The headers I get:
** Properly marked as headers **

It's been correct the other times (though the HTML formatting is off a little bit in the TABLE formatting for the header image, but that's a different issue) so I'm guessing this is something sporadic with the mail server that sends the messages.

Hey, I didn't get the TalkMail dated 8/13 for some reason. Would someone mind forwarding a copy to gleff -at- yahoo.com?

Dunno why I didn't get it by email, though.
