[extropy-chat] META: HTML emails (was: hope you can comprehend)

[J. Andrew Rogers]

I would like to remind some of our new guests (our old guests have  
undoubtedly heard this before) that HTML formatted email is frowned  
upon.  It substantially increases email size, ruins readability in  
some clients, and pollutes archival and web display mechanisms  
without adding any significant benefit.

Plain text emails are simply good mailing list etiquette, in the same  
way response trimming is.  Good email etiquette improves signal-to- 
noise ratios, increasing the effective bandwidth of the channel.

Cheers,

J. Andrew Rogers
