[List Admin] Posting In HTML

[Brett P VanSprewenburg <brettv@rocketmail.com>]

After careful consideration, and a look around at other mailing lists at
what seems to be acceptable behavior, on May 1st I will put in place a 
filter at the list server which bounces all email which is in HTML format.
It's not worth the hassle and frustration of people to get handed a virus or
can't even read the text most of the time becauase it's too small, a weird
color, font or all three.  

This gives plenty of notice for those of you that are posting in HTML to
either fix your mailer or change to one that can send email in plain text.

When someone does make an HTML post in the next month, a friendly one-to-one
reminder of the pending filtering will suffice, as a public lambasting 
probably isn't necessary. :)

I am not going to be able to help you figure out what anyone with the HTML
issue should do.  Contact the maker of your email program, ask about how to
do it in another appropriate forum, or <gasp> read the documentation.
 
I apologize for the incovenience this might cause, but I can see some sort
of action is probably necessary at this point.

Thanks.

==Brett
