Der gestrenge Herr Reiter mahnt zum neuen Jahr –
Friends of GnuPG,
a happy new year to all of you!Now I am taking Andrew (hi) as an example to send a reminder why using text/plain format only mails is a good idea on this (and other mailing lists).

In the past I know that Werner ignored (most) emails with text/html.
There are more advanted [sic!] to text/plain mails:
- people can better chose how their email client is displaying the contents, for instance the font size and color.
- it saves energy because of less bytes transmitted and backuped (and indexed, archived and searched).
– und verweist auf die
productivity gap between people that use full fledged and customised emails clients to those with only web and mobile clients. As email is one of the working decentralised communication solutions, I think we should value it more and thus help people to learn about the productivity of an email client that they can fully control (on their hardware) and customize to have one unified interface to several communities.
Der missionarische Eifer meiner Mitgeeks rührt mich sehr.
