Er.. I am. At least, I'm using an email client that doesn't by default render HTML (it also doesn't retrieve external resources such as linked images and stylesheets). Instead it displays the text alternative and provides the HTML as an attachment that I can open in a browser should I wish to (which I won't except from trusted sources - and that doesn't include mailing lists). If you send HTML only without the plain text alternative then all I see is a blank page. Since almost all HTML messages contain both the HTML and also a plain text alternative, every character of HTML is bloat and so most HTML messages are more than twice the size they need to be. FWIW, I connect via GPRS (which is what my mobile broadband service falls back to when 3G isn't available) when 'out of office' and even when I have ~1Mb/s MBB available I pay for it at the rate of almost $25US per GB. So while I probably wouldn't leave the list if it allowed HTML, I hope you can understand why I wouldn't exactly rejoice! -- Geoff ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
