etiquette (again) was: Re: Update to the Community

While there are some rules about the etiquette, a couple of major notes to 
consider:

1) Most every email client defaults to html, and  replies are often defaulted 
to using the format of the message replied to. 

2) There is a message size limit that prevents most images from being 
attached already.

3) Who actually reads the welcome message sent? Obviously not enough :)

4) Be friendly ;) ( I read the alienation comment as meant to be a bit snarky, 
but thankfully I was wrong)

5) We are too small a list to be worried so much about etiquette 24/7 in 
regards  to html.

6) However, formatting replies and trimming quotes sure makes it easier for 
everyone to get to the meaty goodness. 

7) It has been quite a while, 2009 if gmane's search is doing a proper job of 
it, since this subject has come up in a significant way so I don't think there 
has been any real issue with all the html mail we have received in that time.

8) See #6

9) See #4
