Adam Engst offers a primer on mailing list etiquette in this week’s TidBits. He leaves out the most important rule, though, which is that you should never, ever, under any circumstances, send email messages formatted in anything other than plain text.

Here’s an etiquette tip for list owners – don’t munge the reply to address of email messages sent to the list. If you don’t know why this is a bad thing, check out ``Reply-To’’ Munging Considered Harmful. (This article is of interest to mailing list administrators and subscribers.)
