Looking at BB's email, it's sent in both HTML and plain text. If his HTML bothers you that much, why not turn off HTML rendering in your client? It's a pretty good security practice, regardless. On a side note, your "[processed by "The Bat!", Version 4.2.44.2]" message annoys me. I'm on several technical mailing lists where that would be considered unacceptable. Perhaps you could change that? (Although it doesn't actually bother me. Neither do BB's posts. This is the internet.) Alex On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 7:20 AM, <a@aboq.org> wrote:

You can always add a message filter
Thank you, Marcello, but I don't need advice on how to set up filters. :-) (Indeed, The Bat's filtering capabilities are better than any other mail client's out there.)
It's a question of list management. I'm convinced that the proper way to deal with list offenders is not to advise the non-offenders to set up killfiles, but to ban the offenders until they comply with list rules and/or common sense. You may prefer the round-about way of dealing with list abuse, but I don't. :-)
Not dealing with list offenders creates a bad image for mailing lists. For one thing, their offending posts remain in a list's archives that are usually publicly accessible. For another, list newcomers may get the wrong impression about what the list is supposed to be about, if they see abusive messages posted to a list on a daily basis, but no one saying anything about the abuse (presumably because the offender is in everyone else's killfiles). But the newcomers may decide that this is not an environment they wish to spend any time in, and just leave. Which would be too bad!
