Whether you like it or not I can assure you that HTML mail is the future. I predict that in ten years it will account for over 90% of the mail that you receive in your inbox. You may not like the way that people abuse it, or like the fonts that people try to force upon you today, but those issues will be resolved as the technology matures. I suggest embracing it sooner than later, otherwise your emails to your grandkids may seem as funny to them as using a rotary phone. :)
In regards to your comment about HTML email being disrespectful of fellow list members, I find it equally disrespectful when plain-texter's bombard fellow list members with obnoxiously long signatures/billboards. Perhaps this is the real culprit of your bloated database. :) > on 12/30/07 5:55 PM, Bellwether <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>> >> I work with type design all day as part of my job. > >> > As do I, and I use and prefer to receive Plain Text email.
