Okay. Here's a trivial one to keep it simple: Recently I went to my bank in person. A few days later I get an HTML email wanting to know my level of satisfaction for the service I received: 1 to 10, worse to best. There was a gadget in the email to enter the number, and a SUBMIT button. That's it. I could view all this in Claws through the Dillo plugin, but of course nothing is clickable. So, would have to do the browser thing to respond. Not that I responded. Too much a bother. FWIW, all emails I get now from businesses, government agencies, Windows users, etc. are HTML-based. Text-based has mostly gone the way of the dodo. B
