Hi Suvayu,

A quick check of my previous post shows that it contains the following:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a113393e464269804f051bfd9

--001a113393e464269804f051bfd9
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

etc. etc.

IOW it *was* in plaintext. It did however also have a "Rich Text"
alternative part, which presumably is what violates the Guidelines (I
don't normally see that since I always set my mail clients to prefer
plaintext for reading). I'll have to remember to change that when
posting from Gmail. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way to
have Plain Text as the default.
