Re: *** ADMIN: HTML Messages

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mello Chuck, Bob, et al,

My mailer doesn't support HTML (but that's because it is old and unsupported 
however it came free with my OS 
of choice and it does all I require of a mailer -- and frequently surprises me 
with things it does support).

I do not believe HTML tags add anything to e-mail.  I for one don't want fonts, 
colours, moving images, etc 
in my mail -- that's just another gimick to suck system resources.  All that 
stuff can be sent as an 
attachment or MIMEd if required.  I agree with Bob Crother's comments.

I agree with David's request and would support bouncing HTML mail.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
