>PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR HTML FORMATTING WHEN SENDING TO THE LIST!
Response 1:
What kind of cheezy mail reader do
you have which can't comprehend HTML?
have you considered upgrading to
something written in at least the
late 90s? Read your mail with a pipe
through Lynx, if you must!
Continually berating all the people
on this list for attention to
something which is fundamentally
voluntary?
As for me, I prefer everyone to
write their e-mail in columns no
wider than 45 columns; you didn't do
that, now did you.
Response 2:
Actually, it might be more fruitful
for you to clarify WHY you want people
to turn off their HTML. It's most
likely because you don't like those
spammers who include an image in their
HTML message, which is served off
their site, which contains an encrypted
code which tells them that you read
their e-mail, which makes their spam
list more valuable. However, I believe
you are making the logical fallacy of
equivocation here, which is that all
e-mailers to this list are using such
techniques, when in fact some of us
simply like HTML formatted e-mail.
Peach background. A little diversity.
