I am using an old version of Thunderbird, I don't like the new ones,
they deleted some nice features. Anyway, before sending any email that
has HTML, it says that the email has HTML and asks you to make the
choice of sending in plain text or both.
(please can we not mix top and bottom posting? It does my head in :-) )
One problem is that some people wouldn't have a clue how to change it -
and quite likely such a message would have no meaning to them. To how
many people is the term 'html' just gobbledygook? Thinking about it, I'd
suggest an inverse correlation between html being sent, and ability to
understand Why it's not a Good Thing and How to Fix It.
Actually, I tried this on my own mail server - bouncing html mails, that
is. It just caused aggro because senders couldn't see any problem. I had
to remove the bounce code.
Much easier if the list software just had a simple-minded renderer.
