So it is nowadays. Where's the GAIN in using HTML? If people use HTML to do some (senseful) markup, I wouldn't object. But have a look at Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 08:19:54 -0600 From: Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The text/plain part is only about 600 bytes. The text/html part is about 1500 bytes. 1500 bytes for nothing at all. So the mail was 2100 bytes in size, while 600 would have been sufficient. That's just EXTREMELY bad behaviour. > But adding a few extra kb doesn’t mean > much now, That's not the point.

What's that? Why are you writing this? This contradicts all you've written at the top that mail. Strange. But here you're completely right in those last few lines.
