Hi all,
This is especially problematic for those list members who write from the
mailboxes of their organisations, which often lock down some of the
functionality of their systems, so that emails get sent out in line with
corporate standards and you are barred from changing them.
Best,
Clive

Hi Mike,
I have no argument, except that many people simply send out an Email and don't
know how to change it. So if that guideline is not enforced, what is the point
of it?
I have sent out tons of Emails in html not even realising that it was there,
until I read it more carefully today. It would be hard to enforce such a
guideline with Microsoft's defaults.
All the best

Yes it is. Email everywhere should be in plain text. It is only slavish
obedience to Microsoft defaults that has led to the widespread and misguided
adoption of HTML in email. The problems with blank messages sent to this list
demonstrate exactly why.
And in a list designed specifically for the use of the VI, why use markup?

Hi George,have
This guideline below:-
8 All messages sent to the group should be in plain text.
This is never enforced and is probably the reason that messages appear
blank. I never even realised that plain text on here was mandatory
and
been happily sending in HTML. I bet everyone using Outlook has beenOf
doing the same, since it is not the default format.
Is that guideline really necessary nowadays?

Subject: [access-uk] Access-UK - List Policy and Guidelines
Importance: High
I think it's time once again to clarify once again the List Guidelines.
I think the first policy is quite clear.
There are other lists which cover daily living and other issues.
