Another reason is that it assumes that everyone likes YOUR version of
fonts. This may not make you rude but it sure makes you unreadable
for a lot of people. A lot of the crap coming from the AOL6 clients
comes to me with fonts set so small that I can't read them...or rather
I won't read them :-)
Another good reason not to use HTML is that many (most?) of the
listservers won't read it so subscribing/unsubscribing bounces.
