>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.
