I fully understand. I wish we could convert all messages to plain text or block those which aren't - as well as block all attachments.
Unfortunately our emailer software doesn't give us that option Other than certain newsletters, I prefer plain text for all emails. I had received a complaint about messages not being trimmed which is why I sent out the reminder. Not trimming is a universal problem, even on groups where people are discussing mobile devices where messages *should* be trimmed because not everyone has unlimited data! Long untrimmed messagse are simply annoying, esp on mobile devices.
