You know Bruce, it's offensive unthinking tirades like yours that make me
want to unsubscribe from this list and throw my classic computers in the
dumpster just so I would no longer have to count myself among your company.
Please give me an insight as to _your_ life's work so that I may call it a
steaming pile of horseshit as well.

First, Tim Shoppa noted...
contains a plaintext version of the message AND
the HTML-ified version,
which is what your plaintext email reader is seeing while Eudora and
Netscape can pick out the plaintext version.
Then Kip Crosby added...
That's it. MIME-enabled clients read the MIME
part; MSIE4 reads the HTML
part; MS-Outlook and Outlook Express I _think_ offer the choice between
the
two. Microsoft no longer considers flat-ASCII mail
to be an important
fraction of the traffic.
<grrrrrr!>
The more I hear about Billy-boy, and the more I see of his company's
"products" and arrogant attitudes, the less I like either one! Is there no
amount of bandwidth waste or code-bloat that Micro$quat won't stoop to?!
I knew there was a reason I'd started to get into Unix boxes.
Thanks, guys!
