Please stop trying to boss everyone around. If you don't like the topic,
DON'T READ IT. Would you walk up to a crowd in real life and shout "SHUT
UP" ? I hope the answer is no.

No, and that's exactly the point. Your postings don't contain images,
they don't contain tables, they don't contain markup in a way which
would improve the readability of your postings (e.g., syntax
highlighting in perl snippets). So using HTML adds no value to your
postings, it only adds bulk (135 lines instead of 7 - an overhead of
1928 %) and annoys those of us who don't have a fully mime-capable
newsreader.

It has been my observation for some time that people who insist on
posting in a gibberish format are very likely to post gibberish
content. So it is with Mr DeFaria: the content of his posts is not
worth reading, and my newsreader plonks text/plain and
multipart/alternative with equal facility.

Here's the problem. You are attempting to pose a personal opinion as a
fact. Please do not mix the two. It may be a "gibberish format" to youm
but it doesn't mean it is to others. It is, in fact, a quite usuable
format to many out there, and anyone with a decent reader should be able
to configure which format they want to view by default.

Well, USEFOR did actually get RFC 3977 published after about 10 years or
so. So there is hope.

RFC 2046.

Why should a news reader handle them differently than a mail reader?

Bullshit. MIME may be difficult to implement (it has a few gotchas) but
there is a standard.

No new RFC is necessary. The RFC relevant was written in 1992 and last
revised in 1996.
