Grossly mangled postings *are* a problem because they waste everybody's time - both by being tedious to read and also by often causing misunderstandings because broken formatting often also breaks the syntax of included code, examples, and patches. People can be expected to know how to use email before posting. If you are not sure you do, practice with private messages to friends until you are sure you know how to get everything right. This wasn't about email clients at all. You are welcome to use whatever software and providers you like as long as you observe the netiquette explained on: https://www.openbsd.org/mail.html By the way, no need for long apologies, if something went wrong, simply make sure you do things right in the future. Yours, Ingo
