You may try by sending a mail using the text format instead of the
HTML
one. I don't read more than one line when it's written in HTML. I
suspect that a lot of contributors do the same here.

That was one of the coldest, most invisible, and hardest to
troubleshoot communication errors I've ever seen.
This is a very poor description. Mr Sebrecht's reply certainly was not
a "communication error", if that's what you mean. His response was
quite reasonable, and it wasn't even terse.
I don't know what you mean by using the adjective "cold" in relation
to the communication error that your mailer posts HTML by default. You
should file an upstream bug about that with whomever supplies it.
Unix is terse, and you should expect that. Mr Sebrecht's reply was
polite, helpful & informative.

You should count yourself lucky that no-one bitchslapped you for this.
