For both comments made ...

In defense of Microsoft...
Microsoft makes some of the best software for the Windows Platform.
It just works too well together...

But aside from such biased issues...

Is there a FAQ for this listserv/newsgroup to inform users to post
in plain text format?  Perhaps even specific instructions of how to
do this in popular email and news clients.

Granted, regular listserv/newsgroup users will do this in
consideration of others, but those new to the concept dont really
know better.

Is posting in RTF ok?  The nicety of being able to do such is that
we can easily distinguish between code (normally courier, or another
fixed font), and a description of the problem/howto written in a
proportional font, and/or another color.

If there is such a FAQ, please post the URL.
