[quote user="irelam"]This insertion is quite normal and is part of the header information for an html stream. The following is an example of the complete !DOCTYPE tag:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
If for some reason you do not see this complete tag with both open and close angle brackets, then you have a problem that the senders must solve.

I found how to reproduce the result. Using Pegasus I pasted a newsgroup message for into an email and sent it to two mailboxes -- one at my Comcast account and one at my mailbox at my website provider (ISP).
RESULTS AT COMCAST -- the problem did not occur. Here is the email:

[/quote] At the ISP, there is no DOCTYPE statement in the header.
In this test, the problem only occurred at when viewed on the ISP's server using Firefox. I downloaded a copy of that email with Pegasus. On my PC, the DOCTYPE html is in the header:
[quote]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang=3D"en" lang=3D"en">=[/quote]
So the problem occurs when I read the email on the ISPs server but not when I download it into Pegasus and open it there.
