Fwd: HTML email

T. Onoma

Can anyone else verify this? Are my messages actually distorted on the other
end?

Hi Tom,

Can you please do me a favour? Check to see whether your email client
is sending HTML email, and if possible, change it to text, at least
for ruby-talk posts?

Posts to ruby-talk from you appear in smaller writing than those from
everybody else, and are difficult for me to read. I presume it's
because they're sending text and you're sending HTML.

Thanks,
Gavin

They've always looked fine to me (in pine & in evolution).

No HTML, but perhaps it's the fact that your encoding seems to be
UTF-8 is what makes his client swap font?

Well, viewing the message source shows that they are indeed plain text.
But I see the same thing Gavin described: the text of your messages is
consistently smaller than the text of other messages.

The only thing I can think of is that you've got the following headers set:

Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-disposition: inline

Other messages I checked didn't set the charset, and lacked the
Content-disposition header.

Could it be that (in my case) Thunderbird is interpreting those headers
and displaying with a smaller font size somehow?

It's a mozilla bug.
