This attachment is stripped out by the mailing list software (X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5), so those of us who are not direct recipients only see the text component of the e-mail. However, when he responds to someone directly, that person sees the e-mail that contains the HTML attachment, and the HTML is displayed by default. options: *Thunderbird can be configured to show text only (Menu->View->Message Body As -> Plain Text) *Thunderbird can increase the font size (Menu->View->Text Size->Increase)(or a keystroke: Ctrl++) *Jon could make sure that the only recipient is the list, so that the attachment is always stripped before anyone receives it *Jon could change the settings on Lotus Notes so that it only sends plain text anyway, or at least, so that the attachment is in a less tiny font.
