Rick, take a look at this copy of your posting to the list. Notice how
LONG it is. It a waste of net bandwidth and disk space.
HTML e-mail is not good. It is a very stupid idea forced on to us by
the stupid OS company, MicroSh!t. It does not gain you anything at all,
except to piss of people who's mail readers can't deal with it correctly.
Not everything in the 20th Century is good, and HTML e-mail is one such
thing.
That is why a majority of e-mail lists BAN the use of HTML e-mail.
So, do yourself, and everyone you send e-mail to, a favor and turn off HTML
e-mail and set it for text only. You will make a lot of people happy and
maybe, they'll see the questions you have and respond to them. Don't try and
ram HTML e-mail down people's throats, as they will only resent it.
BTW, also learn to press the enter key before each line of your e-mail
reaches the 80th character position. Why? Because your paragraphs go out
as ONE LONG LINE and on many mail readers the lines will NOT word wrap.
That means lines will wrap in the middle of words. I use the ELM text-based
mail reader because I can read my e-mail from anywhere via a telnet connection.
I hope this helps you understand where many of us come from regarding this
very important topic.
