Yes, it's plain text. On Yahoo you can configure it to send messages in
plain text.

Sure. This is a normal behaviour, since the majordomo-owner message is
the answer to my request (it wasn't sent because was an empty message
and sendmail didn't like it).

Oh... it was an "user error" when doing the cut & paste.

Fortunately I've found the problem. It wasn't related to my majordomo
setup, instead it was a permission problem on sendmail. For any reason,
sendmail was owned by bin.bin with 555. I've changed i t to root.root
with 4555. This seems to be a Mandrake setup problem.

Thanks to everybody who help me to find out this problem!
