Greetings,
At the very bottom of the above page
(http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html), there is no indication of GCC only
accepting *plain text* messages. As most mail clients nowadays default
to a combined text/html format, this leaves users with the unpleasant
experience of having their messages initially rejected by the server.
Note that most users would simply assume that the "server is not
working," and won't go into the trouble of reading the full text of the
MAILER DAEMON's response, where the actual description of the problem is
hidden somewhere in the middle of the second paragraph. Worse than
that, as the message is sent by mail-dae...@sourceware.org --- an entity
that does not show any relation to the GNU or GCC -- some users might
even fail to notice that the message had never been received, and thus
falsely believe that the organization had simply chosen to ignore them.
Best regards,
Zvi Gilboa
