Hi Sean,
Unless you were on the list in January of 1999, you
wouldn't
have seen the message I quoted....
Sorry, I didn't realise the quote was from such an old message. I didn't
join the list until last May.
He was saying that HTML *itself* only adds about 5% to
plain
text....
Fair enough, I didn't realise that. I thought he was referring to the
overall size of the HTML encoded message.
....but most of these so called HTML editors are really
bad and
bloat the HTML out quite a bit.
Tell me about it. Since I haven't take the time to sit down and learn HTML
coding yet I use FrontPage, you want to look at that for a prime example of
bloated HTML production....I've heard tales of some pages being three times
larger than they could be mentioned in the FP newsgroup. :-(
TTFN - Pete.
