Well, I don't think my comment was meant for you, but maybe I totally
misunderstand what you are saying here (English is of course not my
native language, that's why it look very strange sometimes).

I guess I should have written ”could” instead of ”should” or
something, I don't know.
Anyway, I have always said that if someone is not subscribed it's not
my problem that he or she doesn't receive my replies. People didn't
like that kind of attitude, so now I changed that; I even added that
address to the ”To:” field, to make sure that my reply would reach the
right person.
I guess I now need to find a third way of doing it, but I'm not sure
what's left. Well, I know one thing: Not replying at all. That's quick
and easy and doesn't annoy anyone. I think I'll go with that until I
find something better. Thanks for your advice.

I'm not even sure it's right to call it advice. I just throw my crap
at the nearest place, obviously.

I guess I totally misunderstood what's ”plain text”. I thought it was
the same as ”not formatted” text. Only enter text, not formatted in
any way. Everything I type is plain UTF-8 text, which is 8 bits in the
most common cases, but a lot of characters requires two or even three
bytes. Are you really suggesting to use 7-bit text? In that case you
can only write in English, so what about when I write to the
LibreOffice mailing list in my language? Three of our letters in our
alphabet doesn't exist in 7-bit text, and they are VERY commonly used
in my language. And with 7 bits none of the eastern Asian countries,
like China, Japan and more, could write to a mailing list. For me it
is UTF-8 or nothing, so I guess I just have to unsubscribe to all
mailing lists then. Well, I could do that. It might actually be a very
good idea; I might even get some real things done.

I don't know what ”Mime” is, but so far I never saw any Unicode
problems, at least not more than there seems to be some really old
stuff out there that doesn't support it, but that's not my problem
anyway, it's theirs.

I don't know what HTH is, but I could look it up.
Aaah… it could be a lot of things…

Hmm… which one could it be…?
