+1.
Also, could it be possible to make messages plain text? I see a lot of varying fancy fonts and I hate that. I even hate it more when people post messages not properly trimmed or messages that need formatting preserved such as select output, i.e. table data, explain plans, etc. Proportional fonts (Outlook with its darn Arial) is one of the worst...
And then there's people posting screen shots instead of copy/paste... :-(
What a world. Actually, the old Netiquette from the 1990's had it right. But then, who knows about that anymore.
I think, an automatic conversion of incoming posts to plain text and dropping all non plain text attachments would help a lot already.
Cheers,
Paul
