Dave - what/where are the web mail services that don't send html
mail? Or even a service I can telnet/ssh into for e-mail...
I'm going to be switching to a new ISP for home (Comcast cable), so
this is a good time to really start some SPAM prevention measures...

In theory, I support this, but if it's
possible to filter them down
to their textual content on the way through, that might be good, also.
I know that some people (very few) have technological impediments that
force them into HTML (Outlook, etc., I think).
Nope. Even LookOut Express can be told not to HTMLize messages. Some
people use webmail services which spew huge amounts of HTML...but
quite frankly, there are plenty of such services that don't...and
anyone who chooses one that does should probably be suspended by their
toenails and pummeled into unconsciousness with an organically-grown
cucumber.
In short...there is *no* excuse for sending HTML email other than
inexperience or stupidity.
