Hey Todd,
    Should we stick to plaintext or is HTML optional/discouraged?
also, would formatting HTML in a message appear as HTML code in the web
version, or would it be formatted according to the tags?

DISCUSSION GROUP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

   LUGNET includes discussion groups which allow feedback and
   interaction between users.  LUGNET and its owners and/or operators
   do not control or censor messages, information, or files delivered
   to discussion groups.  It is a condition of your use of the
   discussion groups that you do not:

   [...]

   8.  Post non-plain-text content such as HTML, multi-part MIME
       messages, or so-called "binaries" including but not limited to:
       images, sounds, multimedia files, computer programs, and blocks
       of text created using binary-to-text conversion utilities such
       as BinHex, uuencode, btoa, and PGP message encryptions (short
       PGP signatures, however, are permitted by the server).
=========================================================================


In other words, messages encoded in HTML are not allowed.

On the other hand, if you're discussing HTML coding practices in the
lugnet.publish group, then it's OK as long as the HTML snippets (included as
part of an ASCII posting) are part of a web page for purposes of commentary,
assistance, feedback, etc.

The server will reject any messages that claim to be of type text/html or of
any MIME type.
