Use of HTML on mailing lists (Re: SO_REUSEPORT in the children processes)

On 07.03.2014 12:28, Yann Ylavic wrote:

Is it written anywhere in the bylaws of this mailing list, that use of HTML is
something to apologize for? With all due sympathies to Reindl's medical
condition, why must we -- in the second decade of the 21st century -- deny
ourselves the means of expression afforded by HTML on this list? He can -- ought
to be able to -- adjust his MUA to use his font-preferences over whatever may be
specified in the incoming email.

I'd ask this question on /any/ mailing list, but it seems especially ironic
among developers of Apache httpd -- software meant to distribute content, that
is most often written in HTML...

Granted, some HTML can be offensive even to the healthy eyes -- and ought to be
viewed as impolite (not that Yann's was anything of the kind). But to request,
as Reindl did, that /all/ postings -- from all participants -- be in plain text,
seems rather overbearing...
> Here is the plain text.
Wouldn't it be better to send such a duplication to Reindl /personally/?

To avoid this becoming a list-wide flame war, I ask for the powers running this
list to convene and hand us the law: either HTML is acceptable (my own
preference), or it is not (in which case it should be bounced back by the
mailing list software with an appropriate message).

Absolutely no apology required
Harald is just a system admin subscribed to this http developer list, he
has no association with Apache Software Foundation, he has been warned
about playing net cop where he has no authority to do so before, ignore
him.

Truer words were never spoken about Harald Reindl, this person brings
trouble to every mailing list he joins

postfix - banned
fedora - moderation
centos - moderation/banned
roundcube - moderation
dovecot - final warnings

and they are just the lists I know of, and when moderated he is known
to send direct abuse and threats to people (this is why on roundcube
he will never be post status again)

removing the content of such deserved vulgar (about time somebody gave
him a dose of his own medicine for once) I do not find his hostname in
bl.alt-backspace.org so, if thats a fabrication, well, I'll leave it
to your imaginations.

I suggest this list moderates him as well else this is just the start
of things to come going by his very poor track record. Most  people
(myself included) have him filtered out anyway- now he's found his way
onto this list, I no longer whitelist this list.

 because the message had no single HTML formatting and was written in
plain but as HTML may be a godd reason it hardly makes sense to write
email in HTML, they just explode after some replies/quotes and
forwardings with different clients while a conversation in plaintext
survises thousands of replies without lose a sane quoting

Harry, you have been warned before, dont bring your antics onto this
list, this is about the only list you have been most well behaved on,
unlike  others, please remember our previous conversations. If you think
a posters post  violates some RFC, ignore it, or take it up with him in
private, do not pollute this list with your bullshit.

Thank you :)

because the message had no single HTML formatting and

it hardly makes sense to write email in HTML, they just
