Good morning,

I have sent an e-mail to [haproxy@formilux.org](mailto:haproxy@formilux.org) ( [http-reuse and idle connections](https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg46320.html) ) but only after I sent it I noticed that it was sent in HTML format and it make it uneasy to read. Can you hint what I can do now in order to resolve that problem? Most preferably, I’d ask an administrator to delete this e-mail from the mailing list and I’d send a new, correctly formatted one but I’m not sure if it is possible.  
Can you help?

Thanks in advance

The email reads just fine in a HTML capable email client, which is what most use to read it.

[mail-archive.com](http://mail-archive.com) is not how people read emails on a mailing list, that is just for archiving purposes.

If you are still worried about it, send it again in a proper format. But there is no unsending emails, that’s not how this works.

Thanks for your response and sorry that I’m responding so late. If e-mail reads just fine in a HTML email client, I’m OK with this. However, I can see that nobody has responded to that e-mail so far. I’m not sure if it is caused by my post here or I should somehow improve it and send again, not because of the fact that it was sent in HTML. That is, what I can think about is that it contains a lot of questions, perhaps I should send them in separate e-mails? However, the questions there are related, so it seems to be that how it is now it is structured better as one can see relatively easily which question relates to which another question and why.

Well the email does look a bit like a questionnaire taking 15 minutes to read and 30 minute to respond, I guess it’s less likely that you get a response from volunteers in this format.

After all, someone has to take the time to do all the reading and all the responding for free when the person could be doing something else that actually helps them pay their bills.

My suggestion would be to try to reduce the amount of questions and text to a 2 minutes read. Follow-up with further questions based on the answers you are getting instead of putting all questions in a single post.

I didn’t read your email fully, so I don’t know if this is relevant, but always try to explain the actual problem your are trying to solve in the first place, not only focussing on your attempted solutions.

OK, I’ve composed and sent an e-mail that contains only these questions from the original one that for the time being are most important for me and I’ve also reformatted them a bit.  
Thanks again!
