Sure you do.  But if making your text green means I can't read it, don't
wonder why you don't get a response.  And if making your text green
crashes my mailer, etc., or brings up annoying applications to help with
it, don't wonder why I delete your mail unread.  And if you have some
wonderful advice to share with me, please take into consideration I
can't read green text, period.  It'd be like answering me in Latin.
Surely you would agree that to reach the largest part of this list you'd
reply in English?  While I've no problem with discussion going on in
other languages between two individuals, anything in Latin is going to
be lost on me.  Are we all supposed to be so erudite and pushing the
knowledge envelope enough to understand many human languages (as opposed
to English) in addition to buying the equipment and software to make our
computers understand any protocols that get thrown at it?  Unix does a
pretty good job at this; while trying not to beat a Dead Horse,
Microsoft DOESN'T and anyone who doesn't have a Gatesmobile gets
screwed.

We can only ASK for your politeness in refraining from using mailers and
extensions that will fry our mail.  We can only explain why we would
like this; we cannot force you to be convinced.

The way to hit the 'd' key in a mailing list is to put something
meaningful in the subject line.  So perhaps if you'd like to indicate
your green-text mail in that way, we indeed can hit 'd'.
