 	There are public MPlayer development and user support mailing lists.
 	Due to spam problems you can only post to our lists after subscribing.
+	Unless explicitly stated otherwise the lists are English-only. There
+	is a limit on message size, so you may have to put big files up for
+	download somewhere instead of attaching them.

 	Before posting please learn and follow
 	<a href="http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html">Netiquette</a>
 	as well as general rules about writing and quoting just as on usenet.
 	For a complete refresher please read
 	<a href="http://www.river.com/users/share/etiquette/edit.html">HOWTO Edit Messages</a>.
 	As a guideline, remember that HTML mail, top-posting and posting
-	unrelated messages as replies to existing threads are frowned upon.
+	unrelated messages as replies to existing threads are forbidden.
 	Playing by the rules makes the life of those who read your mails a lot
 	easier and significantly increases your chances of getting an answer.
-	Unless explicitly stated otherwise the lists are <b>English-only</b>.
-	If you send an overly big attachment and your mail gets rejected, put
