[GRLUG] Describe your intro to Linux (Adam M. Erickson)

[Michael Mol]

You should probably set GMail to send messages as plain text. (i.e.
without rich formatting.)  The GRLUG mailing list has an anti-HTML
filter in place that gets quite annoying.

As a side topic, is there any reason to keep the anti-HTML filter on
the GRLUG mailing list as it is?  Is there *anyone* on the list whose
mail client can't at least handle multi-part messages, and take the
text/plain part alone?

I have already disposed of 2 NTservers (FTP and WEB) and replaced them with Ubuntu Servers with no little cost and I love how easy Ubuntu made it for a LAMP install. At home, after a Beryl install my wife fell in love with Linux also.
