html posts.

[John Cameron]

Hi,

An increasing trend in posting to this group is the use of incomplete
HTML.

My newsreader software will display HTML but not when it doesn't comply
with the normal HTML rules, as the message headers state that the
content is plain text rather than html. I.E. Content-Type: text/html;
NOT Content-Type: text/plain;

Is there any chance that the news server software could be modified to
fix this for those of use who still access this excellent group via
usenet rather than the web?

Sorry, I should of said that I had included an example of the way I
receive this type of message. I replaced the "<>" with "{}" in the hope
that it would display in the way I see it to everyone.
