No.  You are either completely misunderstanding the issue, or are
arrogantly choosing to ignore it.  Your tone comes across as the
latter, but I apologize if I misconstrue your intent.

Let me try to explain again.  Different people prefer different
clients.  Some people prefer text-only clients that have no capability
to render HTML.  That's okay--MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extenstions RFC 2045 and RFC 2046) provide a way to support both
text-only and HTML clients, called multipart/alternative in MIME.  It
is up to the sender of the email to support MIME multipart/alternative
correctly by supplying meaningful content in two separate mail
attachments--text/plain for text-only clients, and text/html for Gmail
and other HTML-capable clients.  If you are using Gmail you will only
see the HTML part.  You need to see the text/plain part to see what
issues it has.

To claim that your preference of email client, Gmail, "looks fine" and
then dismissing anyone else's issues as "a client issue" implies that
you don't care about people who use different clients.  That is not a
way to garner support and reaching consensus for changing how the
Fedora Project communicates with its members.
