I'm normally not too religious about this stuff (anymore) but at the risk of sounding elitist, I must say that lately things are getting out of hand, and emails are getting ridiculously formatted.
There is some sense to top-posting and not pruning any of the quoted text, but there is no justification on a mailing list. Consequently, with those of you who don't bother pruning out irrelevant junk in your email, you end up having 40KB emails where the actual new content of the email is less than a percent of the overall message size. (See the "Commdetect server encoding problems" thread.) And then you end up having nonsense like: > > > > > > > end user > > > > > > > > > > > can set the mplayer/mencoder > options, either in the > > > > > > > local_config or > > > > > > > > > > > the GUI, is critical.
