I generally agree with you. HTML can be useful, though: <http://www.bucksch.com/1/projects/mozilla/108153/>, thus a general "evil" is IMO not appropriate. Plaintext has problems, too. A few comments to your document: > Es gibt keinen Standard fu"r HTML-eMails! (There's no standard for HTML-emails!) Wrong. MIME and the HTML spec sufficiently specify and standardize HTML mails, as much as the Web is standardized. Note that some email apps (have to) use charsets for plaintext that other recipients don't understand.

(Some servers silently drop HTML mails.) This is an invasion into personal communications and might be illegal in Germany. You should say so in your document in order not to encourage others to misconfigure their servers this way. Ben
