listserv question

Eva Goldwater
Sorry to bother folks with a question about the listserve operation
itself, rather than SPSS/PASW, but I am stymied in trying to change a
subscription option, and I don;t see any way to contact the list
manager/ help.

I am getting the the postings in digest form, which includes both a text
and an html versions of each message.  THe html version displays all the
html codes, e.g. stuff like

<head>
<meta http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; =
charset=3Dus-ascii">

I would like to turn off the html, and just get the text.  I sent a message to [hidden email], "set spssx-l nohtml"

and got the following response:

"All the options you specified were already in effect. Here are the exact
settings now in use for your  subscription. Please take a few moments to
check that this is indeed what you wanted.

Subscription options for ...., list SPSSX-L:

DIGEST         You receive list digests, rather than individual postings
FULLHDR        Full (normal) mail headers
NOREPRO        You do not receive a copy of your own postings
ACK            Short e-mail acknowledgement of successfully processed
               postings"

I don't see that this shows NOHTML, nor is there any evidence that NOHTML is the default.  So how do I get rid of the messy code in the digest, to make it easy to peruse?
