It surprises me that some people concerned about the extra size 
associated with HTML, are requoting the *entire* message for the sake of 
a few tacked on lines at the bottom. :)

But, . . while I can see and understand the argument for text only 
posts, I'm thinking this is a lot like B&W vs. color television. Sure, 
with B&W the *content* is still there, but things are generally more 
enjoyable when watched in color. There are almost always increased costs 
associated with technology.  If there are ISP's around the world that 
can't bear the financial burden associated with HTML messages, that's 
pretty sad, but at the same time, there are places in the world with 
*no* internet capability.  Should I start sending messages in bottles 
just for them?
