Sorry to disagree with you, Paul, but a very good example of a mailing list
that absolutely won't accept HTML is the Mac Powerlist, which is (as the
name implies) for advanced PowerBook users, and which, I am also pretty
sure, includes a lot of members who are also on this list. I personally use
HTML in order to include a co. footer with color logo at the bottom of my
business email (my text, however, remains in plain Geneva medium), and while
I may not always include that footer on non-business email, sometimes I do
forget to switch to plain text before sending to lists, etc., thus if I post
to the Powerlist in HTML (even if only text with no footer), it gets
bounced, I edit it to plain text, resend, and it gets accepted....

For those who send HTML to me with 15 different font styles, sizes, colors,
etc. that takes forever to open, I simply edit the message to plain text and
save it that way (which also allows me to select text, then command-shift-r
to create a reply with selected orig. text in the reply -- command-shift-r
on some HTML messages only brings up a blank reply window otherwise).

Cheers,
George Arellano
