Great idea! I can imagine the conversation now ...
"Boss, I know that
Outlook Express came free with our desktop O/S, and that 99% of our clients
use it, and that all of the staff are familiar with it, but I really think
we should dump it, because some non-work related messages from text-only
mail programs on 10+ year old UNIX boxen display funny."
I still don't get the idea why Alison is upset because of HTML.
It's a 7 Bit encoded text/Plain message of unknown charset (so
US-ASCII is to be assumed) - so where is the gag ?

Sigh. Another pointless 5 line sig in a foreign
language.
Well, pointless or not is not dependant on the language ...
(although I see more English than german ones :)
