email gripe

While I didn't write the text (which I cut) that the above quote is responding to, I too stick to text-only for security reasons - but not just because of the "them" watching and tracking me. While that is part of it - and, while I recognize that "they" may well be doing some tracking and watching, they are probably managing significantly less for me than for most people, and every little bit helps in any case - there is also a different "them" I'm concerned with, that being the hordes of spammers, most of whom do not have the resources to do that kind of wholesale monitoring. However, there's a much bigger reason: I've yet to see an HTML-capable MUA with an interface I can stand - and, even if I were to imagine one, all it would bring over just reading the text/plain part is failing to notice spam which has drastic differences in content between the text/plain and text/html parts. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
