Dude, chill out and lose the attitude.

The "difference" is that one of the rules of this mailing list (notice that 
it is a "mailing list" that happens to be gatewayed (or at least it used
to be) to Usenet; it is not a "newsgroup") is text-only messages. More
generally, email is still a text-only medium. I don't give a hoot if
your email client lets you compose HTML email. HTML email is an
abomination. 

I did "make a suggestin". I believe I wrote, "Which I suggest you disable
unless you want to be flamed to a crisp." It wasn'a a threat; just a
recommendation that you lose the HTML. And, for the record, you
obviously /do/ know the difference between HTML and plain text because 
you managed to turn HTML off. Or would you have preferred that I assume
you're a total moron and explain in excruciating detail the difference
between them?

You shouldn't have the html "stting" on because the long-standing policy
of this mailing list is no HTML, buddy boy.

Welcome to the linux-users mailing list, by the way.

Kurt
