Using HTML in emails.
=====================
Emails which are written with HTML are annoying.
Why are they annoying?
----------------------
1. They look bad with some clients with plaintext inlines (at least on [Icedove and Thunderbird](https://mozilla.org/thunderbird/)).
2. They add empty lines to emails. Have you ever tried looking at source of one?
3. They can include very annoying formatting.
Do you like reading email which is for example, all in bold, cursive and with some notice attracting colour, like red?
And what if it's even written with some very annoying font?
4. They don't show correctly in some emails clients.
5. At least guidelines of [Debian mailing lists](http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct) and [Ubuntu mailing lists](http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists) forbid writing emails in HTML. Hopefully others do to, at least they should.
My email client cannot write messages in plaintext!
---------------------------------------------------
Are you sure? [Debian wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists#HowTo_send_plain_text_emails_to_the_list) has instructions how to write plain text with many clients.
But I use webmail, I cannot send plaintext!
-------------------------------------------
Are you sure? [Debian wiki, which was mentioned eaerier](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists#HowTo_send_plain_text_emails_to_the_list) also includes instructions for many webmails about writing in plaintext.
