Please !
It is best practice, and good manners, not to be a pain in the ass to
all those strangers. A user has control over their own settings, but
nobody else's. Rather than telling everyone else what to do, a user
should amend their own set up to the least demanding common standard.
Most groups have a code of practice for users stating this, many
expressly state that all postings should be in text, many ban
attachments. Please take heed.
