Guys,

I'm getting rather sick of idiots posting to a _Linux_ mailing list using 
broken mailers like Outlook.  I'm getting even sicker of those who send 
emails out with  both a plain text, and HTML version.  If the plain-text 
message wasn't bad enough, the HTML version sure was.  It also increased the 
number of lines I've had to scroll through * 3 + some for headers and HTML 
fluffiness + some for the MIME-encoding lines + some for html-encoding the 
mime-encoding lines...

What's really gotten my sickness boiling over is that people insist on 
replying to these idiots, and include the entire email verbatim, including 
the HTML portion!   Now I'm seeing messages with huge embedded CSS style 
sheets in them! </soapbox> *pulls hair out* <soapbox asbestos_suit="on">

Please, read the email-writing-HOWTO before writing an email to a list like 
SLUG.
