<h1>Using HTML in emails.</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Emails which are written with HTML are annoying.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Why are they annoying?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><p>They look bad with some clients with plaintext inlines (at least on <a href="https://mozilla.org/thunderbird/">Icedove and Thunderbird</a>).</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>They add empty lines to emails. Have you ever tried looking at source of one?</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>They can include very annoying formatting.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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?</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>They don't show correctly in some emails clients.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>At least guidelines of <a href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct">Debian mailing lists</a> and <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists">Ubuntu mailing lists</a> forbid writing emails in HTML. Hopefully others do to, at least they should.</p></li>

<h2>Why do you GPG clearsign your emails instead of using PGP/MIME or something less spammy?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I am clearsigning my emails instead of using PGP/MIME, because I am on
|
||||
multiple mailing lists and most of them use mailing list software,
|
||||
which messes up with headers and this way make PGP/MIME signatures
|
||||
unverifiable.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>But clearsigned signature looks ugly.</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I know that clearsigned messages may look ugly to email clients, which
|
||||
don't support PGP, but they can at least be verified on all mailing lists.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>I am on slow connection and your signature is too big for me.</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I am sorry for that. But keep in mind that your email client would still
|
||||
download ther PGP/MIME signature (signature.asc) file even if I used
|
||||
PGP/MIME.</p>

Top-posting
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
What is top-posting?
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Top posting is replying before the text which you are replying to (and which is usually automatically quoted by your email client).
|
||||
|
||||
This example from [Debian wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#What_is_top-posting_.28and_why_shouldn.27t_I_do_it.29.3F) answers to both, this and next question.
|
||||
|
||||
A: Because it messes up the way you read
|
||||
Q: Why is top-posting bad?
|
||||
A: Writing your answer before the question
|
||||
Q: What is top-posting?
|
||||
|
||||
Why is it bad?
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
See the answer to the previous question. It explains everything.
|
||||
|
||||
Rules
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
At least [Debian mailing lists](http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct) and [Ubuntu mailing lists](http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists) forbid top-posting in their guidelines. In my opinion other mailing lists should do this too.
