,
Roland,
I must line up with Brian on this one. HTML mail is like
sending a postcard in a giant box with lots of packing
material.
Sure colors make fine emphasis, and I'm glad to hear of
the high standard of living in your area that makes DSL
or other high speed technologies universal.
But the size versus benefit that Brian points out is not
easily disputable.
My own pet peeve with HTML is as Brian also alludes to,
the display optimization becomes embedded by the sender
and cannot readily be overcome by the recipient. As an
example, since my display is primarily for CAD, it's big
and high resolution. Your mails, and others like them,
may be fine on your tube. But on mine the text displays
as a tiny line of dots - to read it I must cut and paste
the content into another window where I can control the
font size. Plain old ascii text is the email medium of
choice for a number of reasons.
I respectfully submit that you should investigate using
the colors and fonts on your browser to make the ascii
mail less of a strain - however you may find the html
based posts you receive don't behave for you. As for the
need to allude to the nature of fossils like me, I will
also respectfully ask you to put a sock in it.
(obligatory smilie here - ;)
Cheers,
