Hmm, he may be waiting for you to do it, while you're explaining to all these 
moms out there why you may think that top-posting in this ML would be 
considered good netiquette?  BTW, I'm not condoning thread hi-jacking 
either . . .

To Dale: have you tried setting up new addresses in the Seamonkey's Address 
Book with <gentoo-user@l.g.o> and <gentoo-user@g.o> and for 
each of these select to only send plain text messages?

From previous threads I remember that you can send plain text when you respond 
to a plain text message in this ML, but not otherwise.  This could be that 
you do not have both addresses above set up to only send plain text format.

WARNING: I have not yet used Seamonkey, but vaguely remember something like 
this in the old Mozilla/Netscape features.

HTH.
