[SLUG] One Request, please!
Guys,
<html>

<soapbox asbestos_suit="on">
I'm getting rather sick of idiots posting to a _Linux_ mailing list using
broken mailers like Outlook. I'm getting even sicker of those who send
emails out with both a plain text, and HTML version. If the plain-text
message wasn't bad enough, the HTML version sure was. It also increased the
number of lines I've had to scroll through * 3 + some for headers and HTML
fluffiness + some for the MIME-encoding lines + some for html-encoding the
mime-encoding lines...
What's really gotten my sickness boiling over is that people insist on
replying to these idiots, and include the entire email verbatim, including
the HTML portion! Now I'm seeing messages with huge embedded CSS style
sheets in them! </soapbox> *pulls hair out* <soapbox asbestos_suit="on">
Please, read the email-writing-HOWTO before writing an email to a list like
SLUG.
