About the "should". I don't know, I'm not a lawyer, but I think it's not a good idea to host work from others without letting the authors knows first and getting their permissions. Note that, I don't believe in a "copyrighted" world, but that is (unfortunately) our world, and I don't like to mess with the law, even if I find it unreasonable, but that is another story. Anyway, perhaps if there is a volunteer to write a small howto disable sending in html from the main providers (gmail, yahoo, hotmail) and the two main email GUI clients (thunderbird and outlook), the problem (if it is a problem) would be solved. Until then, and if we don't get an answer from the original author, yes I think we should provide the alternative link, with the risk to pass away into the null sometime in time. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
