If you think that HTML mail could help HoF stay up, I'm more than happy to
change my stance.
Maybe you should just remove "live" javascript/vbscript and images. Maybe
tables. I don't really have a problem with standard text formatting.

: Here's the problem. The CF-Talk email seems to be so efficient
: that few come to the HoF site as they get everything in their
: mail box. This basically says to all advertisers that HoF is not
: a viable place to put ads and they shouldn't bother. Now
: advertising has never gotten us a lot of money, but its always
: been part of my philosophy to have companies pay for the
: resources rather than individuals.
: The main reason I was asking about HTML mail was not for people
: to post nice sigs or the like but to have the same plain text
: mail that you get today but also have the footer be clean and
: nice looking. This would mean that the links would come out as
: links and that the advertising on bottom would be a call to a
: real banner ad.
: Would this add to the message size? No as it would involve
: setting the mimetype to html rather than text (no additional
: characters) and removing the text ad for a img call (no web bugs,
: just plain src, which is usually smaller).
: My only fear in doing so would be that it would alienate some of
: our subscribers.
: What I could do is start out with the plain text message and HTML
: footer and then build an HTML parsing engine that will take a
: post and remove ALL HTML other than standard formatting like B,
: I, and the like. No images, no web bugs, no tables, no colors.
: Just text formatting. That would keep things small and still give
: the emphasis that people want to convey with their messages.
:
: I'd love a real, live NNTP feed from the lists and such a thing
: may be possible. The way to get it is to either get some software
: that does it, write up a full bridge along with running an NNTP
: server or push so much business to iMS that Howie says its worth
: it to build an NNTP server into iMS. I'd prefer the last option
: as it would be so cool and tight with the system that already
: exists here.
