<h1>Using HTML in emails.</h1>
<p>Emails which are written with HTML are annoying.</p>

<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.
