I personally prefer simple text email... everytime I can avoid html. But in case of not trivial subject, using formatting give me the possibility to explain more clearly my ideas. Yes of course, I could do something similar using ascii but it would be more difficult, time consuming and the final result would be worst.
Using bold, italic etc. and including image near the text (not attached at the end of the email) give the writer the *possibility* to be more clear and the reader a better experience. Yes, it takes more time to download a message with an image but (1) people have to use it reasonably and (2) my feeling is that with today technology and for the average user the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. * * * About pgp: I don't use PGP and I would not use in a mailing list like this. When I receive lilypond-user Digest messages I found that messages containing pgp key make the digest message more ugly, longer and difficult to read. I never complained but I personally think they should be avoided.
