Rightee-o boys and girls, this is the point where the pretty girl from candid camera reveals that you are all suckers and points to the hidden camera behind the mirror: Am I the only one here that sees this is a stupid and completely irrelevant thread? HTML mail is like farting when you meet the Queen - you just don't do it. There isn't a rule about it, it's not an exam question and there never was a formal process that came up with it. But if you do start raising one cheek to split the crack and let rip, the butler might come along nicely and ask you not to.
