Can I just ask why the majority of the mail on this list is in

I don't mean to moan and I know it's not a major issue but still.

It's a common problem, in that most html formatting messes up the indenting of an inline program segment. But other than telling each newcomer that has the latter problem, there's no enforcement, as far as I know.

if you're using Thunderbird, you can just tell it to View->MessageBodyAs->Plain text. I do that for all my email, and it prevents much spam, makes Phishing more obvious, and probably avoids some viruses.
