none taken, although your more recent suggestion involving list-customized
filters seems like way too much interference in the freedom that everyone
should retain in choosing their own means of dealing with mail. what we need
is a simplification, rather than the imposition of requiring that people
adopt anything they don't choose for themselves. it's all a matter of
eliminating the redundant litter that irritates everyone, such as html
formatting in mail messages. the solution is simple--use plain text.
so far, we've got three simple rules that appear to be generally approved--
1. no spam
2. text-only (no html, ms-tnef, etc.)
3. wrap text
--none of which require that anyone radically modify the essential structure
of their own setup. let's stick with simple solutions.
