In this context "Could you please ..." is not a command, it's a request. This list currently has no specific rules regarding HTML vs plaintext (nor on top-quoting for that matter) yet IMHO there is a general consensus based on accepted practice on other technical lists which many of us are members of. Therefore it's reasonable to ask people to conform to the consensus where possible, but not to order them to do so. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
