[ale] What's up with gmail?

[Greg Freemyer]

In the last couple days I have had 3 different mailing lists reject my 
e-mail due to HTML content..

Apparently gmail has added a multipart format. A plain text section and a 
HTML equivalent.

I can't find a way to disable this "feature".

Does anyone have a solution?

FYI: I pretty much use this gmail account exclusively for mailing lists, so 
this is a big deal and worth moving to a different webmail provider over.

See sample reject below:

I think the offending statement is:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_4933_24570638.1126702706665"

Thanks
Greg
