[MR] attachments, HTML and other drek that make the list unbearable to digest readers

[Morghana at aol.com]

Sorry to seem like I'm picking on you.... I'm not, and I'm sorrowed at this 
good gentle's passing .... but this was just one more of a near constant 
stream of attachments, HTML-formatted "stuff", or a response  to a post, that 
didn't bother to cut off most of what they were responding to--especially the 
headers and extraneous junk.

Folks, for those of us using plain text email readers (I am, by choice), this 
stuff turns into reams and reams of pure unreadable garbage.  Its especially 
bad in DIGEST form, because one person's pale aqua background color and font 
choices then forces the rest of the digest to the same format.... resulting 
in digests that are, to be blunt.... worthless and unreadable.

I know it has been posted *many times* to this list... but I'm going to bring 
it up once more......  NO ATTACHMENTS, HTML or FANCY FORMATTING.   The first 
belongs in a file archive... the latter two belong on web pages, not in email.

Courtesy gets brought up a lot here.  Please read the FAQs for the list and 
out of sheer courtesy, abide by them.  

With digests becoming unreadable, and therefore worthless....  the list holds 
virtually no value for those who aren't using/choose not to use an email 
client affected by security issues.
