[OT] Text vs HTML

[Dan Jenkins]

Yet another apology, I found why I was posting in HTML, even though I 
intended to explicitly send in text to gnhlug.org.

I am truly sorry for that, as I am aware both of the technical and the 
personal reasons not to do so as some members have a strong objection to 
HTML email.

I use Thunderbird. It works well for me and does IMAP fairly well as 
well as being cross-platform, so I can use it from Linux, OS X and 
Windows, all of which I must use constantly. I explicitly configured 
sending to the group to be a text-only domain. Somehow I had an entry in 
one of my address books which indicated gnhlug-discuss at mail.gnhlug.org 
preferred HTML. As I also had a separate entry in the same address book 
saying it preferred text, I am not sure how that happened. Even if 
Thunderbird is told the domain prefers text, it will override that if 
the address book says otherwise. As to which entry wins when there are 
duplicates in the address book, I guess the most embarrassing one must, 
by Murphy's Law.

In any event, I have corrected the issue here, and will check the other 
computers I work from elsewhere to ensure this does not recur.

(I shall now slink away in embarrassment.)
