Email message should be in plain text (no attachments, no MIME, no .html, .doc, .rtf, .pdf, etc. files) and it must contain, on a separate line, for each team member, giving:
We will assign you a group number and tell you what it is. We will also assign your group a TA, who will serve as your customer and will grade all of your deliverables from then on.
Note: If the message is
not in the specified format, it will be returned for
correction, even if it's just to get it in plain text! If you are using a
browser-based mailer, you will probably have to specify explicitly that the
message be sent in plain text mode, by clicking on some option. Otherwise
it will be packaged in a MIME message with an HTML version.
