It seems to be quite puzzling plain text behaviour.  Instead of
sending just HTML (as before), it's now sending both -- 2 for the
price of 1! :-) (FYI, it's still the case with this one; I spot them
because GMail (which I use for the public lists) decides to use the
HTML version and renders it in this awful tiny font).

It was those Oracle images that perturbed me; GMail decided they might
be dangerous and rendered them only as attachments.  Good to see
Oracle is already making its presence felt...

Clearly it knows quite a lot about the JDK development process... ;-)
