Now that you have all thought about this for a minute, take your view and
widen it up to include a lot more history.
The move to the internet from BBSes was cost. The move from plain text to
HTML is being motivated by the ability to communicate more clearly.
Huh?? These messages are memos. They are not books or a digital
equivalent. Some are informative and are worth archiving, but most like this

Are you really looking forward to the day when everyone will be able to
foist a time wasting video production on their email recipient? If
prearranged from well chosen friends, I'd probably take it, but not from
a forum like this. I think most on the list will agree - ascii or some
sort of friendly equivalent like iso-Latin.
The way things are going, someday you will pine for the time (like now) when
spam was so simple.
