I thought the same thing as well, and that it was highly uncharacteristic
of Norm. However, when I looked at the attachment, I found the text
included below.
My guess is that somehow his mailer:
User-Agent: Gnus/5.1002 (Gnus v5.10.2) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux)
(which is close to my reader...) didn't quite form it correctly, since
the email was structured like so:
Headers
Initial text
Multipart-boundary: content-type: text/xml
XSL code
Norm's usual insightful footer
Multipart boundary: content-type: text/plain
Docbook unsubscribe info.
I'm not sure why the "Initial text" was not within a multipart boundary,
of type text/plain. But it caused my reader to ignore it as well.
Anyway, below are the textual contents of his email (sans XSLT code ;-) ).
