Folks,
I'll bring it up again. *Please* consider that, esp. in the Unix/Linux
world there are a *whole* lot less people who want html mail. We don't *care*
what nifty font you're writing in, we don't *care* about your
wowser-stationary/wallpaper.
On top of that, this is a mailing list. A lot of us get it as a digest, and
we're getting it as *email*. All we care about is content. If we get html
mail, many of us, esp. the older hands, are more likely to just ignore it,
rather than wade through it.
Just so y'all have a clue what I'm talking about, I took a post from the
current digest (and I am *not* picking on you, Dave Wheeler, it's just that
your post was what was in front of me when I got irritated), and I've mangled
the html by globally replacing all the < with a ^. Have a look folks, and see
what the rest of us see.
