Okay.  Changed to text.  Sorry for the extra bandwidth consumption.  Your condescending message was unnecessary.  But if it makes you feel better about yourself, I guess that's what's important.  You can f**k off though.

Mr. List,

I'm sure your posts are quite interesting, on-topic, and relevant,
but I haven't read any them.  And, I doubt I'm alone.  I imagine
that very few of the readers of this list have seen your content.

You see Mr. List, your email software is sending messages in a form
called "HTML", but many of the readers on this list use "text based"
mail software which is unable to interpret your postings. So while
they look all spiffy-cheerio to you, many people see only gibber-
jabber and press delete without reading the messages.
Heavens for Betsy! So sorry!

In order that you get the most enjoyment from this list,
2 suggestions come to mind:

	consult the documentation for your software, you can probably
	configure it to send "plain text"

	re-read the list FAQ, at http://www.phillylinux.org/faq.html
	it is a thrilling read. filled with such exciting topics as
	HTML email, attachments, signature etiquette, and so on...

That's all I have, so let me just close with cheery "Welcome to the
list" and "Happy Happy, Joy Joy!"


	--jeff
