When I try to read you email in pine I get:

So to read it I would have to save it as a file and then try to figure out how to read it (or wait for some other wine-devel subscriber to quote it in a reply, thanks Mike<g>). I have also heard reports that it causes some versions of mutt to crash. I don't know what happens if one tries to read it in emacs (which is what Alexandre uses) but if it is anything like pine or mutt this may explain the lack of response.
Firstly let's get the email format discussion out of the way:
To be fair, this seems to be Mutt/Pine sucking. The email source is a very standard multipart/mixed HTML+text mail which is the de-facto standard outside of geek mailing lists :) There's nothing magic about it, if somebodies email client can't read it, it seems to be broken. Unless something between me and wine-devel washed it into a more standard format (unlikely, never heard of it)
I'm not sure where application/x-pkcs7-mime came from. That string doesn't appear in the email at all.
It appears in mine. While I can receive it, it would be good if everyone sent plain text emails as that is just good etiquette.
The sending client is Outlook. Any email client that can't receive mail from Outlook needs some bugfixing, I think, standards or not.
And mailman too, by the looks of it.
