It's more inconvenient to have to wade through rich text emails.  Yours 
are particularly hard to read as you have forced a small font upon me.  
Your mail client *does* have an option to send plain text messages to 
this recipient (trilug at trilug.org)

The only reason someone will give you crap is if you mangle your email 
in a way that is detrimental to Linux people on a Linux mailing list.  
Rich text email is one way, winmail.dat attachments are another.

Quoting *everything* and then top posting is also a breech of etiquette 
but we don't need to go there today.
