I kindly beg all mail sending list subscribers to follow our list guidelines:
- please do not send HTML formatted mails to the list, just plain text

Especially with the amount of traffic this list receives lately, I for one simply ignore HTML-formatted mails by now (too lazy to zoom in and out all the time). Same if the context of a mail is so messed up that I twist my brain trying to decypher it.
I believe that if only a few competent people on this list do the same, the amount of such "wrong" postings would be significantly reduced in no time...
I won't respond to postings by people who, having been asked not to post in HTML, persist in doing so, but I'm more forgiving of newbies.
