Fedora Weekly News 286 -- and all the rest of your "Fedora Weekly News"

[Pascal Calarco]

Hi George --

Thanks for the feedback; I hope you don't mind if I share with the rest of the FWN team.  

Apologies; I sent this out with Outlook; yep, that's what I have to use at work.  I'll endeavor to send this out as ASCII for future issues, via Thunderbird instead.

  Best,

  - pascal

Pascal,

_Why_ do you send "Fedora Weekly News" with 'text / html'?

to do so is entirely unnecessary.


you are not writing a web page, you do not use any fancy type, you do not use any graphics.

you *are* sending a weekly news notice.


sending 'text / html' is nothing but a waste of bandwidth and space.


in past, i enjoyed reading "Fedora Weekly News", now that you are writing it, it is has become, for want of a better word, pain.

i filter 'text / html' to a separate folder so i can deleted waste from my hard drive. because you use 'text / html', i have to look for it before i delete waste.


please reconsider using 'text / html' and start using 'text / plain' like previous author did.


i and many other readers who filter 'text / html' will appreciate your efforts more.


thank you for your consideration.


peace out.

take care. have a good one.
