You might find more (and more useful) responses to your questions if you
present your email in a way that is easier to follow.

For example, I don't bother to respond to emails with the stupid
disclaimers, and I'm much less likely to answer a question in a long
series of unedited, top-posted responses.  HTML mail is likely to just
go straight to the spam folder, too :)

Top-posted, unedited responses just make it look like a marketroid was
let loose unsupervised.
