Hence this apologetic e-mail. Which, obviously, you didn't completely
read, or understand. Must I apologize another time, or will you ignore
it as well?

No. Sorry. I won't.

Feel free to ignore my posts if you don't like them. Including when I
will respond to questions you may ask. But I've configured my mailer to
send TXT + HTML so that people with modern (i.e. written sometime in
this century) MUAs can take advantage of my attempts at formatting for
clarity, and those with retrograde mailers can still read the text,
despite possible issues with formatting. With pure ASCII, it would soon
be unreadable.

Of course, "mailing list etiquette" ... ahem... I felt compelled to add
"ubuntu" to my google search, as it really will apply better, don't you
think? Nevertheless, it says "Avoid sending emails in HTML format, if
possible."

The operative word here is "if possible". I've decided that (paragraph
above) it allows me better expression of my thoughts to enable modern
days formatting options. I do add TXT for older systems. As I said. Your
choice to ignore my posts if it saves bandwidth for you. Or you feel
insulted by HTML. Or whatever.
