The people who say HTML is not allowed are wrong.
As moderator, I'd like to clarify - Policy with regards to HTML posting
in the support newsgroups is:
Message content (what is being said) is much more important than message
format (snipping, top-posting, HTML). As long as users are being helped,
we shouldn't make a big deal out of message format. It's not something
that /should/ be policed.
In other words, we don't care about HTML vs plain-text, and neither
should you. I'm more likely to take action on *arguments* about HTML vs
plain-text. If someone complains that a message cannot be read, just
re-post in plain-text.
We have a very low amount of HTML posts anyway, and I assume just as low
amount of subscribers unable to read an HTML message.
