My other Linux list rejects html mail with a polite message.

Excellent, Johnny, and you have a link to the standard netiquette in your link.

Summary of above suggestions:

3. Do a little basic research before posting and include the actual
errors you see rather than the lame "it's broke".

And my favorite gripe

4. Please trim your posts. When you reply, we don't need to see all
the wrapper crap from every mail in the thread.

And a suggestion.

At least one user suggested researching previous posts on this list.
It might be a good idea (TM) to post a link somewhere visible
instructing unfamiliar users how to find the archives.

And a final note for Peter and Craig
