Is html-only email really all that widespread? I keep very close track of whether mail is in html form or not, for spam killing reasons, and I don't think I've _ever_ gotten an email from someone that didn't at least have a text/plain version of the contents along with the text/html. Of course most of my email is from technical people, but I certainly get a reasonable amount from non-technical people as well. On the other hand, spammers invariably -- so far! -- seem to send _pure_ html (no non-blank text/plain parts). [The big exception is nigerian 419-scammers, who for the most part don't even seem to have discovered lower-case...] -Miles -- Yo mama's so fat when she gets on an elevator it HAS to go down.
