At this point I'm inclined to think you're using an inferior mail client. KMail works just fine with HTML. What are you using? > eg. the mail which I quoted: In HTML, it's about 1179 bytes.

However, I don't think it's right or polite to= =20 start harrassing people for using it. > > if it irks you so much, make a script that will change RTF/HTML to > > Plaintext? > > That's not a useful advice. I'd have to accept the (normally) > uselessly bloated mail first and then strip it. Makes no sense. No, you're not thinking! The mailing list server receives a email in HTML. Convert the HTML to plaintext. Then send, and store in the list archives (as plaintext). Sure, you wasted some bandwidth on receiving the HTML, but you're not makin= g=20 the problem worse by sending or storing the bloated form of it, either. > > It wouldn't be terribly difficult... > > Depends. On the skil of the programmer, of course. I'd take a while to do it becaus= e=20 I'm a perfectionist, and because I'm still new to programming in general. = =20 I'd automatically turn it into a learning experience, which would make it=20 take twice as long. However, for a established programmer who's learned the ways of the Source,= it=20 wouldn't be terribly difficult. Think: Just take all the tags out. Convert stuff like:


to a newline and you're done! It's just Presto! and the most basic of=20 functionality is there. Then you can tack on stuff for special characters= =20 (&lso; and stuff like that... it's been a while, so that's probably not a=20 valid code, but you get the idea, right?) Just delete the junk like the tags and stuff of that nature with=20 plaintext doesn't need (or care about).
