[olug] ASCII Ribbon Campaign

[Jonathan Warren]

I can show you some really ugly emails that don't display well in my client.  I just ignore them.  I have setup mutt to use lynx to render most of them but that only works when they don't get collected in a digest.  I just ignore it if I can't read it.
