I dislike html mail, never send it, and know perfectly well that this group is for text, bottom-posted mail. I don't have a proposal for how a new user should find out, but I don't think we should act as though a major offense was committed. If after being asked to send text only, a user insists on sending html, one could then complain loudly (or simply ignore the mail or update your kill-file). allan
