RE: HTML formatted email

We are PROGRAMMERS, but not snails!  At sometime we have to try new tools.
WHEN the list should change is the question, not IF it should change.  Why
do we even have a list, not everyone has email, shouldn't we just be using a
dial-up BBS like the old days?  Wait not everyone has a pc or modems, maybe
we should only use print.  Wait not everyone reads English, so print is out.
I only know a few people that don't use a html email client, and they better
start smelling the coffee or they're missing out anyway.  I'm sure there are
still people using text browers as well, I just consider them techonogy
adverse.

Maybe I'm a little extreme in my opinions, but I do think HTML mail has a
place, I use it all the time and that's where the world is going.

Yeah, what is the deal with HTML formatted emails anyway?
As for me, I get kinda aggravated when someone sends me a yellow or speckled
or whatever email.

Why????????  What is the point????????

If your email client won't let you turn it off, there's are dozens of them
that will !!!
For pete's sake, you are PROGRAMMERS!  Technical folks...and you don't know
how to turn this off ????

I can only think of only one word for it - CRAYOLA.

Take a hint, look at the serious posters, eg, Al or Brad or several
others...see any html tags?
