Sounds like a reason to go back to posting just plaintext, if
eternal-september is ASCII-only.

Dave Van Domelen, never stopped posting in plaintext....

The problem is that I'm not sure Gmail allows you to do that, at least
easily, for a specific recipient if you're using the web client or their
first-party apps. (And if you're mailing other Gmail users, you probably
don't want to use plain text.)

Third-party clients may have more options, but HTML is pretty ubiquitous
in email these days and plain-text email looks weird and is harder to read
for most recipients.

Anyway, I'm still not sure it's the multipart/alternative as opposed to
the Dkim-Signature, which is email-specific stuff that I should have been
dropping in moderation (and am doing so now).

Uff, I'm sorry it's such a pain. @.@

I think I've seen some messages dropped rarely, with the replies sent
thru?
