Sounds like an excellent idea. Perhaps 'clicking' on the Support MailTo: Link should generate an automatic 'Form Email' including the Link to Subscribe/Un-Subscribe along with the 'warning' that the Email is going to be Posted to a Public Forum. Probably better would be to state the 'warning' in the same location as the Support List address. :-\ > This would also solve the problem that's come up quite a few times > recently of "OMG!

God knows, Governments keep spending Billions trying and failing. :-D > Second question - can we disable HTML - rather allowing people to post > HTML? There's no reason (IMHO) a 1 line message of "I can't connect to > the XMITT server" should contain 200 lines of HTML garbage, a JPG > embedded with the company image, etc.... Your MUA is set to Open Email showing HTML? =-O Still, this is also an excellent suggestion. If screenshots are truly necessary then perhaps someone should 'approach' the individual directly and solicit them. :-\ If for no other reason than to reduce the bandwidth required to download HTML Email which counts against those with pre-set limits.
