Craig, I disagree. This is policy, and the policy on this list is  to
post in plain text only. You can do it, I can do it, everybody can do
it.  Using  HTML  or  base64 encoding is a waste of bandwidth, and it
makes the message unprocessable with standard tools like grep etc.

If the poster is a Chinese or an Indian or a Russian or whatever does
not matter here: we all post in English anyway, so you don't need any
fancy characters - plain old ASCII code will do.

It is just good will that such messages are accepted at all  on  this
mailing  list.  The  longer  this  continues, the more I'm tempted to
automatically reject all messages that contain HTML or base64 encoded
text. Maybe we should reject top-posters and full-quoters as well ;-)


Of course I _can_ read such messages if  I  feel  like  it.  I  don't
_want_  to  see  such  postings on this list, and I think I make this
clear often enough.


To make it absolutely clean: I want only plain text postings, please.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
