I don't hate it. I can't keep track of all of the people I talk to and their
preferences, though, so I don't try. And sometimes, just for fun, when
someone does that to me, I respond by saying "okay, but when you mail me, I
need it in HTML format, Helvetica font, 24 points, and the color red. Since
you have told me how you want mail from me, I thought I'd let you know what
I want, too".
Usually, it just pisses them off, since it seems there's a double standard
here (you can't tell me. I can tell you). But some of the time, it gets the
point across.
