As a new moderator, what you need to do /first/ is figure out how to
post in this mailing list following the well-laid-out and very available
rules:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists

See this part:
----------
HTML mail

Avoid sending emails in HTML format, if possible. Some people may find
it more difficult to read or reply to these emails. Also, HTML email
takes up more space, so people with restricted Internet access will be
happier to receive plain text emails.

Then, after you have learned how to post correctly, maybe more folks
will  be willing to help.
Will you really be a good moderator if you don't even try to follow
the rules, yourself?  I think, "not."
