[admin] no HTML posts please
"When thou enter a city, abide by its customs" -- Talmud
Please, please refrain *posting* in *HTML*!
If you want to get help, take another second to *think* what are you doing
*before* you send the email... Say 'Yes' to the plain text, 'No' to HTML!
Thank you!
P.S. I don't know answers for all your questions.
I don't claim that I answer on many questions at all.
But be sure that I won't answer to the posts in HTML, because my mail
client doesn't support HTML (don't tell me that I should upgrade my mail
client, my client is just fine).
I encourage others to do the same.
People should learn to exercise the netiquette if they want to get help
for free.
P.S.S.:
You might want to read some informative resources, e.g.:

Thanks, David
I don't think we are out to force some filters at the incoming posts at
this point. My post was more as a reminder. I hope we wil never reach the
moment where we will have to apply filters at the maillist server side.
However feel free to set your own filters and share it with others
(probably to be placed on the site under yet another messy link :)

This list is hosted on a qmail ezmlm combination at the apache boxen, no? Well,
we could setup the list to strip the HTML section out of multipart/alternative
messages and bounce those messages which are only HTML.
Some of the code already exists at http://www.qmail.org/no-alternative but it
should be extended a bit. I also have a procmail filter setup so I hardly ever
actually see the HTML messages.
I don't have to time to set this up now (blame consulting jobs that drag on),
but I thought I'd suggest it.

And, for those of you who can't figure this out on your own, here's an
excellent guide to configuring many popular mail readers to refrain from
posting HTML and/or richtext email.
