It's a pleasure to meet a good 'netizen and best of luck to you in the
future. We all had to start learning somewhere, right?
I have been on the 'net since the USENET days, when the 'net became
available to us sometime in the mid 80s. I have been aware that HTML was
not supported by email readers, and that people were annoyed by posts in
HTML.
I retired from teaching Computer Science in 2004. In the early 90s I
established the first network in our building on Western's campus with
internet access. My team and I pulled the wires and installed the
routers. We put networked PCs on every faculty member's desk.
I have been posting here since the early days of OpenOffice.org, version
1.1 if I recall correctly. And I used OpenOffice.org's predecessor,
StarOffice, well before SUN bought it.
I knew that Thunderbird's default is to send email in both text and
HTML, but I was NOT aware that people still use email readers that can't
display the text portion of email without the HTML part.
I have not had any complaints from anyone about posting in HTML until
now. I can be very annoying at times, so as I said, I make every effort
to rectify the unnecessary things that annoy some.
Thanks for your response.
