Simply saying "omg it's 2011, get an html e-mail client!1!!!!!" is not an answer, because it's not a logic argument, and i could just reply on the same line: "omg it's 2011, learn to configure your e-mail client properly!".
My only point in my earlier message was, again, this is a losing battle. I also think it would be much nicer of folks *requested* plain text emails rather than instruct or demand folks to learn how to send them.
omg, it's not 1995 anymore, Either get an html capable email client or just delete everything that's not plain-text ... :-)
As i said, i can read html mails just fine, i just find them way harder to speedread (and ugly as hell), since the formatting is always different and people in this list keep top-posting and embedding remote images in their signatures.
You make people NOT want to use the list by doing as you link because "it's a losing war". I'm subscribed to other software and support mailing lists, and people happily comply with the so-called netiquette. Take debian-user for example:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/05/threads.html
Changing a setting in your e-mail client to send plaintext mails only to this address does not cost you anything, arguing about it is a waste of time, but the argument has been brought up by other users who, like you, are trying to use this mailing list, which is a service provided by the community, for the community. You can send flashing-and-pink-comic-sans-html-formatted mails to all of your private contacts as far as i'm concerned, but please be respectful about other people requests in here.
