[support] HTML e-mail (was Re: Chaos Tool installation problem)

[Ms. Nancy Wichmann]

Thank you, Kazar, for your defense. But actually, I do use Yahoo mail because 
Yahoo bought Bellsouth's email several years ago (fortunately, because I've 
moved several times and it is a pain to switch when one has so much invested in 
an email address).

Yes, I had to study to find out how to switch, even though it is rather obvious 
now. But the main point is that if Yahoo receives HTML mail, it wants to send 
HTML; and likewise with plain text. So if plain text is what the "list" wants, 
it should send that. Since the list sends in HTML, I, therefore take it that the 
list wants HTML.

These Drupal lists often contain code snippets, which are frequently formatted 
to distinguish them from descriptive text. Plain text removes that distinction 
and can make the whole post more difficult to read.

This is a losing battle. If mailing lists are offered as support forums 
for the public, it must be recognized that many, if not most, email 
programs by default send html or rtf emails, or they are using web email 
such as gmail or yahoo

Anyway, the person you chose to pick on does use Yahoo mail
