Hi John,
I think you’re sending emails in HTML format, which come through to the list OK as an
individual email, but HTML-formatted emails are removed from the digest ("An HTML
attachment was scrubbed”). So there are two options: change to using plain text format for
the emails you send to the list, or change to receive individual messages rather than the
digest.
Thanks,
Mike

Once again my post is (to me) a header and blank text, but others can evidently see it,
which is something. Katie seems to see the only possible problem as the chapter getting
criticised...
