I agree with you, John. HTML for e-mailing is a pest of the first water.
Not only does it unnecessarily consume bandwidth (remember 95% of the
world's Internet connections are NOT broadband, including myself, stuck
with a 56 kbit/s connection), it signifies inconsiderate selfishness for
those forced, through no fault of their own, to download them. Not only
that, HTML text messages are frequently MUCH more difficult to read,
because the font and/or colour have been chosen to please the sender,
rather than the reader. And does it convey a iota more intelligence to
the message? NO! Unless it is to say that the originator is a s.....h,
i...........e, b.....d! Do I feel strongly about this? YES!
