I installed a mailing list for a client.  You can send the newsletters via
html or plain text, but the database doesn't allow subscribers to choose to
receive it one format or the other.  With so many people using yahoo and
hotmail email accounts, it would be best to just send in plain text.  I
would like some help with a work around for this problem.  I was thinking I
should install the program twice in different directories with one being for
plain text and the other for html.  Rather than having two forms for
subscribing, I would like one form for people to be able to choose html or
plain text.  Based on the selection of html or plain text the form would be
executed for one or the other directories.  (i.e. html =
http://mysite.com/news1/subscribe.cgi / text =
http://mysite.com/news2/subscribe.cgi ) Any ideas?  thanks
