Look, the issue is pretty simple: if you want people’s time, and for free no less, you should not set up a barrier to entry to even finding out what you wanted from them. The onus is on those who want something, to not inconvenience those who might provide it. In this case a particular subscriber wants something from the other subscribers, ie. help; the other subscribers have no specific want or need to read his mails. Personally, I may have set my mailer up to produce a decipherable rendition of HTML mails, but that’s only because some of the people who pay me send me such mail and I can’t well ignore that. Otherwise, I refuse to deal with HTML mail. I never asked any subscriber to change their mailer settings, I simply flatly ignore their posts. I am probably not the only one on the list who does so. I assume that being ignored is not what HTML-posting subscribers really intend to achieve. But the choice is theirs. I don’t care.
