Not true. If you look at your reply from shailesh, the html that you sent
was printed in the body of the mail much like it is above. I am not the
only one getting it in html format. I may be the only one who's reader
does not support html.
If you look at the header of your mails, you will see very plainly that
you are in fact posting in html:
Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"
If you had read the usenet netiquette faq, you would have seen that one of
the first few guidelines is never post in html. Others are - when
replying to messages, either post your reply *below* the original or
punctuated with parts of the original for clarity. After all, we are
human and in general read from the top down. Also, trim the original
entry, including only the parts that are relevant to your reply.
Some mailers however do not allow users to edit the original text, which
is why we cannot be too strict with this. All mailers however as far as I
know, and definitely Eudora 4.0 allow the user to select whether he wants
to post in html or plain text. You have to ask yourself one question. Do
you need html mail? Your mails do not contain any information that cannot
be conveyed without *any* effort on your part through plain text. I see
no reason for you to have to post in html.
BTW, your iconmail address is bouncing. Hence the reply to the entire
group.
