I agree with this. I am not aware of a useful reader of email which
supports html that does not block offline content. Thunderbird requires
you hit a button to activate remote content. I usually forward such to
a yahoo or gmail account if I have doubts about the embedded content.
However none of the emails I read are any different than a text
formatted message with summary blocking of where graphical content will
appear.
What are you using which allows day zero type activation of any html
content? As I said, I don't use any web based readers or archivers for
the reason you cite, but I've never had a problem with any content.
If there were a technical reason to keep it in a
simple format that
would be fine, but as Al K pointed out quite some time ago, Google
already indexes all of this quite fine as it and most search engines
do, so the list is text searchable.
For me, HTML mail is disdained because it's a security nightmare.
I don't want to worry about transparent tracking images, cookies,
javascript, and who knows what else they've invented or will invent.
I just want to read what you've got to say.
I might want to follow your link, if I have sufficient interest and
trust, but I want to have to make that decision *before* entering the
spy filled, all-singing, all-dancing hype arena.
