Whats up with the plain text only rule?

0

We know your message looks fine on your system, with three different fonts, five text colors, and full justification of your text. Trust us, it looks like crap here, and on a lot of other systems. Not every mail program understands HTML or MS rich text encoding, and on those systems your message will be ooooog-lee. Worse, every single little formatting tag will show up in all its text-based splendor in the digest form of DND-L. Stick with plain text for list messages. If you need help figuring out how to do this, please contact the moderator or a monitor, who will be more than happy to assist you.

In the white window, you can expand the options with a [+] next to their name. Make sure the option entitled “Mail and Groups” is expanded i.e. a [-] is next to the name instead of a [+]. Once, expanded, you’ll see an option called “Messages”. Click on this once. At the top of the page
