I've told hundreds of people this, is there any way you can put it in the
sign up mail or on the mailing list page or something or just filter all
HTML mail out of the list as it really bugs me (and I presume most other
people) and it would also nullify the spam issues that seem to be getting
worse.

I too suffer this motor coordination problem! My finger can NOT avoid the
'D' key when I see HTML in postings.

For sure!

And while we are at making a point, please realise that we do understand
the pain you might feel, but by helping us to not feel it also you are
more likely to get the information you need. So remember, no HTML
postings.

Totally agree with you. OE users can disable HTML mails by going to
"Tools/Options/Send"and set format to "unformatted text"

Please no HTML email.

Hi all,

FYI, just a warning/note. I read my email on mutt from samba.org.
When I get an html formatted email I just hit 'D' (delete) without
looking at the contents. I think many other Samba Team members do
the same.

If you send an urgent plea for help and it's html formatted then
I doubt anyone in the Samba Team will ever see it.

html formatted email is 99.9% spam, and gets treated as such.

Just thought that people might like to know that
