I'm sure that everyone of us really enjoys seeing influx of these wonderful HTML messages. People please don't send HTML e-mails to the mailing lists. Tey are a pain to read. And if some one about to say that's not their fault because they use gmail - then DON'T use gmail for this mailing list. Or configure it so it does not send HTML messages. Vitaliy

All mailers send a text/plain MIME alternative also.
So we could just have the wine mail servers strip the HTML alternative, et voila?
Or senders can just flip the format to plain text and bingo! Vitaliy

Err, somebody had changed my mailer's settings behind my back. Sorry bout that And next time, when you have a problem with me, can you please send me a message off the list, instead of sending a generic message on the list? I don't know anyone else that had HTML posts.

There are number of people here who use gmail or other services that start sending HTML all at the same time. I dunno if that's because Google changed something? So it seemed to me that the problem not with one single offender <g> but with multiple people. And all that started with the most active topic... Vitaliy

Vitaliy I'm very sorry about that, I just noticed that I sometimes sent HTML mails, too. My Thunderbird was configured to auto-detect which did the right thing as long as I answered to plain text only mails. Perhaps it would be a good idea to write somewhere that the users should configure there clients to send text only mails to the list? I knew it but I think if it's worth to open a thread for that topic it might be worth to write a little (big) notice on this site: http://winehq.org/site/forums (or perhaps I'm just blind?)
I apologize again, KGJ

This is just another argument FOR a forum... :-D If you dont want html in a category, you can turn it off...

I think the simplest solution still is for the mailing list software to send out only the plaintext version of the message, if in fact all HTML mailers include plaintext as well. Cheers, Kuba Ober
