Why can't people > learn to EDIT OUT unnecessary quoted material from their replies? Some people top post, others bottom post, some edit, some quote a whole digest... You get the point. The point of the email is readability, and that depends more on the thoughtfulness of the author than on the use of HTML or plain text. Fortunately, we are on an Entourage list and we have the luxury of one of the best email clients, so we have the advantage of being able to send and view compact, formatted, and non-bloated HTML email. The fact that in the year 2004, more than 20 years after the start of the home computer "revolution", many email clients cannot send and/or receive proper HTML email and some list software cannot handle it, is really quite a reflection on how advanced (or not) computing really is. -- Bruce ____________________________________________________ B R U C E K. klutch-at-erols.com -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
