Sorry, Bob, I will try to remember in the future.  I think Thunderbird 
is sending in the same format as the replied-to message, and I didn't 
notice.

So that I understand what's going on, what's the bad thing that happens 
with a multi-part message?  I would have thought that mail readers would 
choose the preferred part, or is it something to do with the message 
quoting?
