OT: ascii vs html

[Paul Douglas Franklin]

I got the following from Richard Bos.  It's kind of mysterious since I 
have already explained to Thunderbird that the Kolab Users list prefers 
mail in plain text.  (In address book, I selected Kolab Users; in its 
properties, prefers to receive messages formatted as Plain Text.)
In the interest of being a wonderful member of the community, I'd like 
recommendations on how to fully convince Tbird to send plain text.

Hello,

just for information:
you might get more responses when you use plain ascii emails instead of html.
Please see below for how your email looks:

It's normal on emaillist to refrain from using html, it's not only on kolab-*
