I haven't looked at proletext, but will point out that any subtype of
text pretty much went down in flames when we tried sending some
samples around. We tried text/paragraph with a format that was
basically plain. Too many mailers default to treating this as an
attachment.
Clearly such mailers are broken (i.e. non-compliant)
I think one had to be fairly brutal with non-compliant software. Just post
messages obeying the rules, and when people with non-compliant software
find themselves inconvenienced, then the pressure by them upon the writers
of the software will produce results quicker than any other known method
:-) .
