I keep getting these smarmy sermons from somebody's mail account. I
include my response to it below, though from its message, it probably
won't be read.

Please go perform an illicit act upon yourself. Your sanctimonius
preaching sickens me. I do not control the format to which my messages
are converted as they leave our corporate intranet, If I had my choice, I
would be using pine/smtp, rather than Lotus Notes.
If you don't want to see mail from me, unsubscribe from the rsync mailing
lists.

Hello stranger
You send a Mail to my address or to a mailing list and I don't get (or
read) your mail!
Your mail was a HTML Mail and HTML Mails are bad!
Only with 'not only text' mails, you get viruses and/or trojan horses.
STOP THIS!
See this pages for more infos:
http://www.betips.net/etc/evilmail.html

On the other side, normal HTML Mails are SPAM and I don't like this.
Thanks.

Chill, everyone! I hate html email as much as the next person, (maybe more so ;-) But I just lived through the 'html email - just say no' war that I started a week or so ago, and suggest that now is a good time to take a deep breath, step back, relax, and sip a cool one (or whatever you need to do to relax!) Yes, html mail is bad. But some people have no choice. Talk NICELY to whoever makes the decisions about that stuff, its their fault.... Besides, I see Tim's email just fine. No weird stuff in it at all... Oh, well, I'll climb back into my hole now ;-) (and, no, I don't get those, but then I never include html in my email. Hey, just for fun: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV>Fake html, entered by hand, as an experiment. <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML> lets see if I get any replies like that...) rc Disclaimer - sorry for posting to the entire list. However, I did want do do two things - one, that little experiment, and two, ask everyone who might be excited to calm down before replying. I just had my fill of html-wars last week, and can tell you that we'll probably generate much more heat than light - and would rather see folks spending their time generating light! ;-)
Shoot. I had no idea this stupid mail system was doing that. I hate
lotus almost as much as i do microsoft. anyway, i'll make a point of at
least setting an extralarge font, for those whose clients try to render
this stupid html stuff. Again, i'm sorry to take the list off topic. Poor
judgement on my part, and it won't happen again, and if i CAN get this
danged thing to stop formatting my mail, i will.

Just for the record, seeing the wierd stuff (the HTML markup tags) is
not the only problem -- for me, most HTML mail comes through in a very
small font that is unreadable. (I can read it by doing a view source or
something like that, if it seems interesting enough.)
(Tim's mail is coming through with this very small font.)

Tim,
Why are you using such a large font?
