But you don't need to keep reminding the rest of us.  Please either
send such messages privately, or (preferably) ignore such posts.
Repeated off-topic advice is just as annoying to the rest of us as the
original posts are.

And, like posting in non-English languages, I won't refuse a
hard-to-read post, but the OP must realize that by posting that way
they limit the amount of useful feedback they may get.  And they *are*
readable posts - I can read the plain ASCII in them quite easily, and
mail mailer doesn't even *support* html.  Why haven't you answered
him?  I'm sure your mailer hints aren't helping him become a
productive DJGPP user.

To all: please consider not only the individuals you are posting to,
but the thousands of others who must process your messages.  Is it
relevent to the average DJGPP user?  Or is it more appropriate to send
a private note?  Certainly, vendettas against an individual's mail
settings are not appropriate for this public forum.
