Sigh... no indeed I did not use HTML with any kind of funky quoting. The 
message is encoded as multipart/alternative. There is a plain text section 
and an HTML section. Configure your email client properly to read whichever 
you want. It's the way Gmail does it, I use Gmail, I am not going to turn 
off all the features in Gmail to appease the gods that be on this list so 
just lay off or go yell at the dozens of other people that commit these 
"heinous" crimes every day on this list.

For the love of Pete people stop hijacking threads to flame people. If you 
don't like what someone is doing tell them personally (or better yet ignore 
them), no need to reply to the list with your personal gripes.
