Yes, if it's implemented then we get yell at people who think 128 character lines are OK ;)
Yepp ;-) One of the guidelines would certainly be line lengths less then 80 characters.
I have lots of ideas for something like this (my Gnus killfiles did this when I used to read usenet). We can block:
o known-to-be-bad email clients
Which would be? Outlook itself isn't a bad email client, only the default settings are nowhere near acceptable.
o messages with high quoting ratios (i.e., the amount of old, quoted text divided by the amount of new text)
How do differentiate that from a full quote done on purpose? But I wouldn't really go as far as blocking as that would IMHO be too hard a measure. I'd really prefer some common guidelines that people could be pointed to.
Maybe we can even get down to 50 messages/day!
Somehow I can't help the feeling that there are a few smileys missing ;-) Philipp -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
