1. Encoded bodies
2. Non-roman character sets
3. being called Peter Whalley
1. As most experienced list members prefer plain text, I don't understand the need for base64-encoding of bodies. The only purpose it serves that I know about is to attempt to subvert mail filters. I figure if you don't want me to filter on content, I don't want your email.
2. Non-roman character sets implies the mail's not written in English or any of the other European languages. If anyone writes to me it better be in English because my French hasn't seen much practice since I completed school 40 years ago, and I know no other languages, and English is in any event the standard language for this list. Bouncing mail using non-roman character sets means I get to not see lots of Chinese, Japanese and Korean spam.
3. I think we discussed this enough some time ago. The filter dropped quite a deal of email.
I'd like the folk who're compiling the guidelines to add the first two points, and ask the list admin to enforce it. Along with any other good ideas these suggestions trigger.
