  I certainly understand your frustration, but instead of getting angry
  about it, just do what I do.  If I can't read the E-mail, I move on...

  If I find someone who, after sending several messages, doesn't know
  how to properly reply on mailinglists ( or refuses to ), it is handled
  very simply.  I completely ignore everything they have to say.  If
  they are truly annoying I simply reject their E-mail at my mail
  server.  

  Like you said, if person can't or won't get why this is important they
  obviously are not going to be able to "get" any help I may be trying
  to send their way and are in all honesty, simply not worth my time.
