Hi Guys,
I just thought I'd drop a quick email to the list just to clarify that the Alug list is a plain text only list but I'm bending the rules a bit for new joiners to the list as I feel it is better to let them participate and get involved with Alug instead of freezing them out straight away.
Agreed rejected mail or acid comment to list newbies will cause offence and not send out the right friendly message.
When we get new people join the list who have a mail held for moderation because it has an html part I am going to let the post through and then mail the new joiner directly asking them to try and post in plain text only. (Obviously if they have posted with html and it has created a massive attachement then I will not allow it to go to the list).
Common sense here will work.
Obviously this isn't set in stone as it's up to the people on the list what we do but I'd like to hear a few opinions of if people think I'm doing the right/wrong thing.
I'm in agreement and will be handling things the same way depending on comments from list members posted here.
Cheers, BJ (the other list admin)
