The weekly digests are of limited value – with most appearing with the message – ‘html attachment scrubbed’ – followed by an web page link. To follow up is time consuming and frustrating (especially for some-one like me who only has dial-up!).

Don’t the Birdlines all get emailed to birding-aus anyway? Admittedly, only once a week. Perhaps they could be daily.
Did someone once work out a way to get them emailed to oneself as soon as they’re moderated? Via Facebook or something? Via bird-o?
Personally, I post them all to Birdline, unless there’s some doubt about the id, or I think it needs discussing for some reason. If it was something really special then I’d email the list immediately – I can’t post Birdlines from my phone, for some reason. Birdline also accepts photos.
I think Birdline is easier to search for older sightings than birding-aus, as the archive lets you search by species. Searching birding-aus requires a little more skill.

That sounds like your mail server or mail program has removed it. They’re working ok for me, even on my Blackberry, which is usually the first thing to complain about mail formats. What software/device are you trying to read the mails with? I would have thought most systems could deal with HTML in emails these days, but maybe not.
