Guys, nobody cares what email client you use. If you prefer a text based email client, for security or any other reason, that's entirely your choice.
Where the FAQ errs is in asking people to disable outgoing HTML email. I've been on this list almost 12 years, and I won't comply with that request. Why should the FAQ ask anyone else to? Nobody is going to make a global change in their email settings, disabling a feature that I and many other people find very useful, just because some email list they've subscribed to asks them to turn it off. Now, there certainly could be a *useful* FAQ entry about HTML email, but what it says would depend on how the email list software actually handles HTML email. I haven't really tested it myself. Does it pass through HTML formatting like *italics* and *bold* and links<http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad>, or does it only forward the text version? -Mike On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 6:19 PM, Matt <[email protected]> wrote: > FWIW, I'm in complete agreement.
