Cause you made a suggestion that seemed like a good idea to you, but
would have been a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Thing to damned
near everyone else involved, and rather than blow you off, Mark wanted
to explain *why that was*, in the hope that you'd learn.

He should, IMHO, have noted that your message was in HTML in the first
place, and not bothered.

Only open your mail program when you want to read mail.

The proper answer is Usenet, but as it happens, there *is* a searchable
archive at Celestial, and no one said you had to keep the messages
after you read them.

Mark did answer your question.

You were too busy having opinions to listen.
