Dear Readers,
i just would like to suggest to this community a couple of tips, so that
articles may always be read by all users in the best way.
Many of you have surely noticed that articles sometimes are not easily
readable, having for istance text strings like these:
------=_NextPart_001_001B_01C002BA.CD3D67A0
Content-Type: text/html;
charset="koi8-r"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Betulin</TITLE>
<META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dkoi8-r" http-equiv=3DContent-Type>
<META content=3D"Nort Parmaceptical Network" name=3DNPN>
<STYLE>A {
TEXT-DECORATION: none
Those of you who are familiar know that these are HTML codes, they tell
how a web page has to look when we load it in a web-browser. But
articles sent to orglist are not web-pages, so they shouldn't be
there....
This happens because common e-mail programs, such as Outlook Express or
Netscape Messanger, may write e-mail messages as HTML files (thus, can
contain coloured and formatted text, or graphic backgrounds, and so
on...) instead of plain text files.
I always suggest to send messages as a text file when posting articles
to the list, so that messages themselves are plain and "clean". Look for
the appropriate option in the "Preferences" menu of your e-mail
software.
Also, please avoid to insert tabulation spaces in the body of message,
otherwise something like:
" =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D "
will appear for every tab space inserted. On the contrary, use the space
bar to separate text.
Finally, let's use quotation as "the salt in a soup" i.e. only when
strictly necessary ;-).
Cheers,
Andrea
