But what when the majority of the users of said list are Outlook
users? Most of them wouldn't even know about the hidden HTML,
much less care. ("It works, let it be")
I was on one such list (and I too used Outlook before it realised I
didn't like it and it wouldn't let me use it - This is at uni where it's
preinstalled etc)
As much as I hate HTML mail, it is the accepted norm. Of course
that doesn't mean I won't try and stop it. (BTW I found the option in
Pegasus to _always_ turn off richtext, so what happened in survpc
list won't happen again ;)
