You have a very good point here. I think it would fall to all of us to exercise some restraint in using html email. My emails are always rich text, but never have graphics, scripts or any other crap. Text formatting only.
Is it so hard to control ourselves that at the first chance we add a stationary with animated gifs and tracking cookies and what not? The urge has never taken me I would also support removing offenders from the list, not hard. We do that now I'm sure when some one posts offensive or otherwise grossly OT material repeatedly. The same should apply to "The criminal use of html email" :) Be strong! -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 1:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: (Admin) List upgrades > This is another legend spread by Usenet groupies.

Plenty of people use background images, images in their signatures, even ActiveX controls in their signatures! It takes me personally a significantly longer amount of time to deal with those messages, so I typically killfile the poster or abandon the list altogether.
