[Zope] a little rant

[Phil Harris]

(Michael,

What follows is not aimed at you, but you were the straw and I'm doing 
my camel impersonation.)

All,

I've noticed quite a few HTML formatted emails being sent to this list 
(and other of the Zope lists) lately.

<rant>

DOES NO-ONE READ THE FOOTER OF EMAIL ON THIS LIST!

</rant>

I quote:

"Zope maillist  -  Zope at zope.org
http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope
**   No cross posts or HTML encoding!  **
(Related lists - 
 http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce
 http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )"

Notice the relevant part - "**   No cross posts or HTML encoding!  **".

This isn't just a personal rant.  This topic has been discussed at length on this list, and a consensus was formed - No HTML mail.  

There are people who I know will not answer your questions if you send HTML formatted mail.  So turn it off and you get more responses.

OK, normal service will now resume.
