Dear Allstat
Can we please ban use of Allstat to advertisers who continue to ignore
advice about emailing. I am tired of having to scroll over swathes of
unreadable text in the digest each day, caused by people who don't take
the trouble to send messages in a format designed for circulation, which
is clearly explained on the Allstat website (
http://www.ltsn.gla.ac.uk/allstat/). In yesterday's digest there are two
long examples, both emanating from James Harvard Ltd, which look like this
on my mail system (and probably on all when in digest form):

I wrote direct to this company to complain, back in March, but got neither
a response nor any noticeable change.
