Notice: In general, unless a listserv requires it, I only send HTML email. Please do not request plaintext personal email from me without a very good reason to do so. I do this as very few free software folks of any competence in our community insist on it. HTML email:
- allows for certain W3C standard certain accessibility features;
- certain global scripts to be interchanged; and
- allows deaf people to interchange embedded video and SignWriting.
As a disabled person, these things are more important to me than maintaining the æsthetic of plaintext email. I hope you will consider joining me in relaxing policies forbidding HTML email, perhaps starting as I have by testing the strength of such policies by sending only HTML email. If my emails annoy you, consider contributing to the email software you use to strengthen its ability to handle HTML email.
