I just tried it with gmail to my point address too.  I thought
that I set it plain-text the edit window, but the message came
back with the same "Failed.." message. On my next test, I made
sure I could see the checkmark next to "plain-text" in the
editing panel. I sent that out, no "Failed.." message, but I
haven't seen the result yet.

Just tested one from Outlook. We'll see.

Gmail might be adding something! Let's give the process at
least a good 30 minutes to work.
