Out of consideration for all the poor slobs living in technologically
underdeveloped countries I won't quote Marco's post but merely respond
to it.
What *I* get annoyed at is the attitude that just because some people in
the world pay for Internet by the byte, that it's somehow wrong in
principle to *ever* use technology like html e-mail. What if I want to
send a nicely formatted message -- complete with pictures of the kids --
to my sister in Washington? We both have fast, all-you-can-eat access,
decent computers, and up-to-date technology.
Why can't someone post a message to this list asking how to do something
like that without getting a bunch of messages telling them that it's
morally wrong? That and the penguinistas with their noses in the air
about how e-mail is a textual medium by definition and html-mail is
therefore an abomination.
When I post to a list like this I know I'm speaking to an international
audience using a wide variety of clients on a wide variety of operating
systems. Therefore I will post in plain-text as that is the lowest
common denominator medium. But why should I be limited to that for ALL
my communications?
Why can't people just answer the OP's question and leave the friggin'
politics aside???
