I like it, and I HATE HTML mail, BUT, . . .
the majority of people sending HTML with Outhouse, etc. can NOT turn that
feature off in 1 second, because
1) they don't know how
2) they don't know what HTML IS
3) they are in denial - "I looked at it on MY screen, and it IS nothing
but text!; it's already the simplest, easiest to read font that I have,
should I switch to a lighter colored background?"
And that logic might apply on other lists, but isn't this one about
classic computers? I know html didn't exist when many of these beasts
were made, but anyone geeky enough to play with such toys still should
be educable enough to get html turned off.
