My approach to dealing with these it that I set my mail client to text only display. This means that I see plain text where IDE coloured text is pasted, and I don't see images unless I go out of my way to do so. Dan On Mon, 2019-03-11 at 08:36 -0500, Robert Engels wrote: > I think you are confusi

Right, I understood what you were saying, but the fact is people *are* posting *screenshots* to the list. (I imagine others are *also* pasting from an IDE, but like you say a screen reader should have no trouble with those, so I assume a blind user wouldn't even notice anything off about those mes

That’s not exactly what I meant. I meant that copy and pasting from an IDE will often result in colored formatted text like looks like a screenshot but it is not, and a screen reader should have no problem with it. > On Mar 11, 2019, at 12:49 PM, Ian Denhardt wrote: > > Quoting Robert Engels

I think you are confusing screenshots and copy and paste as html. The latter works with screen readers and still gives colored text because most likely the person is using an IDE. > On Mar 11, 2019, at 7:21 AM, Wojciech S. Czarnecki wrote: > > On Mon, 11 Mar 2019 07:39:40 -0400 > Sameer Ajman

I would say lack of culture. One of the thing I don't like with golang-nuts is that there is not an unique quoting rule. People here use both top and bottom posting. Coming from usenet I feel a bit uncomfortable like now when I'm replying to this thread. I consider polite to use the interleave
