The point with HTML postings, is that even if you have your mail reader set to text only,
when one receives a HTML/RTF encoded post,  what you see are pages of junk like:

<br>
<br style=3D'mso-special-character:line-break'>
<![if !supportLineBreakNewLine]><br =
style=3D'mso-special-character:line-break'>
<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3D2 =

and on and on and on.....

The result is a file that's huge and unreadable. I'm reading with Lotus Notes, unfortunately,
but the effect is independent of the mail reader.

I'm surprised that this mailserver allows HTML postings...most don't, as they provide
very little value added, and multiplies the size of the file several times over, which
just slows things down at ever step of the delivery process.

And no, I don't have too much time on my hands, thank you!
