If you want to give a clinic on how to use gmail for filtering, perhaps
you can figure out how to have gmail send plain text email instead of
html format.
as for uol.com.br - it's a real nuisance and a deterrent to the list
users - even though they can filter, they really shouldn't have to. It's
sad that thousands of list users have to each individually create
filters because the list admins can't figure out a solution to the
problem.
