I have AV software to protect me from e-mail attacks, browser attacks and hidden tracking bugs. That and mail clients which won't render HTML if I choose to use them. I rarely send HTML formatted mail and when I used to deploy Outlook I set the default message type to plain text. However, making a blanket rule and applying it without understanding the business logic and needs which drove the marketing department to make this request is stupid.
Spam and HTML have little if any significant correlation. When I buy your e-mail address along with 49,999 others for just $99.95, there's no requirement I blast you in any particular mail format.

I don't like HTML email because 99.999% of it is completely and utterly useless. It typically adds nothing to the content of the message at all. In fact, much of it is actively detrimental: Email attacks, browser attacks, hidden tracking "bugs", and so on. Spam and HTML appear to go together as well. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
