General rule of thumb on mailing lists: don't ever send mail formatted with anything fancier than newlines, tabs, and spaces. And sadly, some firm up in Redmond WA has done its level best to even bork that much ... tabs sometimes don't make it through safely. So RTF is out. So is HTML. If you're sending code, the expectiation is that the recipient should be able to save your email and then pull that directly into a program editor. That rules out any formatting that's not part of the programming language. _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
