(VBG) (version 8.x) Not dated, and it applies to IMail. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Darin Cox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 18:29:31 -0400 >I do think #8 might be a bit dated. With plenty of bandwidth, and today's capabilities (the PDA's I've used download and display the messages just fine), HTML should be fine. Case in point, this message was HTML to allow bolding of #5, so there is significant benefit to draw attention to important items and for other simple formatting. > >Darin. > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Tripp Allen >To: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 10:58 AM >Subject: [IMail Forum] Proper etiquette when posting to the IMail Forum > > >When posting to the IMail Forum mail list, please comply with the following "rules:" > >1.
