Can you send the compiler options you are using? You can copy them by going to Project -> Compiler Options -> Show Options (Button)

The options are as below:

This was fixed in 29453.

Can you please stop sending HTML messages? The selected font size is so small that I cannot read your message. Sending plain text is sufficient and leaves no room for such problems.

Thanks

One of the advantages of following this list via the GMane news relay (news.gmane.org group: gmane.comp.ide.lazarus.general) is that the message bodies are plaintext. :-)

This doesn't help any contributor, when I simply disregard his unpleasant messages - be for HTML format or full quotes.

He who wants to be heard (by me) must follow *my* rules :-]

DoDi

Yeah, but it's not your list and you aren't the only one who reads it.

Just saying .... because what you wrote sounds pretty egocentric.

P.S.: Both of my eMail frontends (The Bat! and Roundcube) had no problems
rendering the eMail at a readable size, so I guess: time for you to get a
proper mail client ;-)

I've a problem with it with the latest version of my email-client (ELM), so I would like to see it go too!

Fair enough, but I guess it should probably be forbidden by mailman (which, afaik, offers filtering). So it's up to the mailinglist owner.

(I wouldn't mind a text-only policy, but currently that isn't in place, so if - for whatever reason - I can't read/open/comprehend a mail, I just ignore it.)

Yes, I'm egocentric when somebody asks for my assistance ;-)

No, my "filter" allows me to quickly skip over contributions from users, that do not understand the use of a mailing list or newsgroup, or use inappropriate eMail software. My experience from decades of mail and news usage (you remember MAUS net?) tells me that it's not worth bothering with certain kinds or styles of messages and contributors. A bit of according education will make life easier to *all* participators

Granted ;-)

I am sorry for this, uhm, problem. I was using the Yahoo! web interface at the time to write my mail. Now that I am home, I adjusted my mail client to send only text to the Lazarus list, which I hope will solve any problems. I will make sure to send text only when to Hans-Peter for pointing this out.

i went back and looked and dejan's posts are arriving here as multipart posts with a plain/text section... is your reader selecting the HTML portion over the plain/text one??

Many thanks for this hint :-)

It was not easy, but I could find a mailnews_prefer_plaintext option, that was disbled by default. After changing this option I see the original message in plain text. All that after using this software for so many years... <sigh>

Please excuse my ignorance and inappropriate rant, everybody :-(

Where is the list moderator/maintainer now? HTML email is NOT allowed in the mailing list as for as I know. This is a general rule for 99% of all mailing lists out there. So I would like to see such message gone too - irrespective if my email client can or cannot read such messages.

So same goes for quoting messages. It just peeves me when somebody quotes 30-50+ lines, then only adds a one line reply!

Moderator, please do what you were assigned/volunteered to do!

These are the rules for most mailing lists....

http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Yes, that one relates to fpc-pascal, but I would have expected the same rules for the lazarus mailing list too. It's common rules/etiquette that should be known by all.

I choose not to respond in this thread.
It is not forbidden to write HTML mails, I agree is it not wise, because less people can read it.

OK, could you maybe create a Lazarus mailing list etiquette page like what was done for fpc-pascal as shown below. This could include attachment size limit, preferred mail format, quote size etc. This information could be very useful to new mailing list subscribers.
