I have some problems reading sh_oofshore's messages because they are send
as html messages which adds a lot of unnecessary garble and makes them
almost unreadable in my news client. Your problems will be solved if you
unsubscribe from the mailing list and subscribe to the newsgroup
gmane.linux.ubuntu.user, as I have done. It makes reading selected
messages much easier. My problem, and I think a problem for many others
on this list, will be solved if you refrain from posting in html.
