I'm lazy, too. That's why I created the topic. Every time I use this list I have to be sure to set the formatting to plain text, then open up my message in a text editor that will cut the lines off at 70 characters. A lot of extra work just to send an email, but access to this community makes it worth it. Someone might say that I should change the defaults of my email program, but I don't want to. I like being able to format my email for the recipients that allow it. > > But, I'm even lazier than that. > I also appreciate not being forced to take extra precautions to deal > with possible hidden links, exploits, and who knows what.

I can't argue with you there. These are legitimate concerns. My email client doesn't show images in incoming emails unless I've explicitly allowed it, but I guess that's not true for all clients. > Besides, it might be embarrassing to send an html/css reply to a list > with such notable designers.
