*** Well, even if not using html tagged e-mail we do understand that,
except that it still doesn't change anything to the fact that there is
really no point in using html e-mail. It doesn't add anything more to the
message that you can't do with plain ASCII. It's maybe nice to people
listening too much to Billy's marketing speaches where "commando line" and
"text based" programs are devilish (untill you have to repair a Windows
f**k up) but it is certanly not to people using mail to get information
across. The point is not to impress people with a superb lay-out but with
the contence of the message. In case it is necessary to use html tags in a
message (sending in your CV or a commercial message to a new client) one
should be free to use that possibility, but let's not try to push it down
everybodies throat as "the hotest thing to do in order to get the mesasge
accross".
