Kmail displays a HTML email as source, but there's a security
warning mesg outlined in red at the top that allows you to click
'here', and then the HTML is displayed in all it's tiny unreadable
font ugliness. Replying to a HTML email, automatically converts it to
plain text. I just use the <Delete> key whenever I see a HTML email
(as many do). So I haven't read any of Ron's.
Bottom line is tho, the "Welcome to the [Mandrake} mailing list"
email that automatically is sent to each new subscriber specifically
requests that all posts be as plain text, and that HTML should not be
sent. So to do so is arrogant, inconsiderate, and rude, or just
plain ignorance of netiquette for any public list.
