[platform-update-dev] list courtesy : please format messages appropriate

[Mel Martinez <melm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I normally abhor replying with a  wholesale quote of the digest, but ....

The attached shows that folks need to be cognizant that this is an open
list and that subscribers have a variety of mail readers.  Please use
courtesy and limit your messages down to _plain text_ and (unlike this
message) please also remember to trim reply quotes to just the essential
bits.

Thank you,

Mel
