I (and as I see, many others too) don't care that braindead M$/msn/hotmail people (and thus their software) think that plaintext messages can be reformated and "useless" line breaks can be removed and inserted whenever/wherever the clients wants. It is not true. The plaintext e-mail has formatting defined on the sender side (to be able to do paragraphs, tables etc), and it must NOT be reformated unless user does that explicitly (as I was forced when replying to your e-mail). Lines in plaintext mail should not be longer than 80 characters. There is RFC2646 which defines flowed format for plaintext e-mail, which is inteligent way to done this, it's fully backwards compatible and even can be combined with plaintext formatting. It has the 80-characters-max rule too. This is what M$ people should learn and follow, instead of breaking long years of practice with plaintext messages. > theoretical belief: Would you write in HTML just cause my client cant > handle plain text?
