This whole argument is just silly. You simply get angry because I don't use
a text client. It's -your- problem, not mine. I use gmail for ANY of the
mailing lists I am subscribed in and in all the time I have been in mailing
lists, you're the first one to complain for something as stupid as that. If
you don't like my HTML then simply block it, that's not gonna make me angry,
provoke me or anything like that - in fact it'll make me happier as I won't
be bothering your 1337-console-ness

.

I tried looking for you in #winehq but it seems you're not there - I was
hoping to try to solve this personally (since the issue is obviously
personal) but it seems you want it the public way, there you go.

Darkguy, the wine mailing lists are all ASCII by convention;
you can probably get away with posting HTML if you're
polite and helpful, but you seem to have stepped on some toes.
If you could try to blend in a bit more, it might help.

Please, folks, can we avoid foul language and childish behavior
on the wine mailing lists?

He is welcome to return 5-10 years form now when he grows up. Until then all hist posts will be removed!

Well nobody told me that even when I signed up in the mailing list. I've
been posting to this list since 2006-2007 and I haven't had any problems
with it, nobody has told me that the list is ASCII and now everybody is
trying to associate me with the forum. WTF??...

Just for the side note, I'm not going to change my posting way, simply
because 1. I use gmail, 2. I like gmail, 3. I personally don't like the
console for other than fixing my X when it crashes or quick-editing any
file, and 4. he's no one to tell me what to use or not to use - and if he
is, then I'm sorry but I use what I wish, unless explicitly stated the
contrary in a... rules page maybe?

I'm off to bed, I've had enough with this.

Sadly, given his response to my post,
it does sound like he's being unreasonable,
or at least more annoying than is good for the group.

Maybe he'll feel better in the morning and start
behaving better...?

I use gmail and I do not post in HTML. Just click plain text in the
compose window.

I doubt.

Especially considering it's so easy...

It's a generally safe assumption that HTML is verboten. As is top posting.
Please use conversational quoting while you're at it. http://learn.to/quote

I'm almost certain there's a setting you can change in GMail that fixes the
problem.

Sure. Read RFC 1855. No HTML and bottom post. Don't do that, you go
away. Simple.

BTW, HTML wastes bandwidth DarkGUY. You may not, nor do I, have to pay
by the byte, but there are others that do.

Be considerate. Get rid of the HTML, it is not allowed, period. Get
rid of the top post, it is rude and inconsiderate when this is a bottom
post or better intersperse mailing list. It is not business mail, where
top posting is encouraged (and where I worked, required.)
