I can only speak for myself, and that individual says, "Read my lips: I don't like HTML emails." <G> I have Entourage set to send plain-text messages by default, to always reply to all messages using plain text, and, in those rare cases where for some obscure reason I really, really have to use HTML, to use Monaco as the font for HTML messages. My main problem with HTML is that some people use extremely small fonts which are virtually impossible to read. Yes, I can hit the 'enlarge' button to make the text larger, but if the message is sent in plain text to begin with, then I'll see it in my chosen font, not the font that someone else thinks looks good. And there is still an issue with many lists, especially those that offer a digest. If you get the digest version, all of those HTML tags show up in the message, making it totally unreadable. (At the moment I don't subscribe to the digest version of any lists, but I have in the past, and very well might again in the future.)
