I know that the messages I clear are all in plain text. So your statement doesn't apply in our case at least. I see HTML on a few other lists but those senders get yelled at.
HTML has no place in email IMO. If the mail is not from one of my mailing lists or from a designated client I have a filter that sends HTML bearing mail to a special folder. 98% of such mail is SPAM. I delete based on subject line. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
