Two questions this thread brings up, I don't know if it's open for 
discussion or just a question for the mods..

The common 'protocol' is to reply to the group.

But - correct me if I'm wrong - if a person simply looks in the help 
file and e-mails support at pidgin.im, they aren't subscribed to the 
list. So when someone replies to the list, that person will never see 
the reply(ies) - correct? Should this perhaps be modified? Maybe not 
allow a person to e-mail support at pidgin.im without - at the very 
least, getting an e-mali back telling them they need to subscribe 
otherwise they won't see replies?

This would also solve the problem that's come up quite a few times 
recently of "OMG! I sent my user ID and password to a mailing list!" 
or "What?! This message was confidential!"

Second question - can we disable HTML - rather allowing people to 
post HTML? There's no reason (IMHO) a 1 line message of "I can't 
connect to the XMITT server" should contain 200 lines of HTML 
garbage, a JPG embedded with the company image, etc....

Thanks. :)
