Yeah they are really annoying. What's even worse is the air heads
who think it's really cool that they can send pretty formatted text
as email, without thinking or caring that they are making it harder
for anybody who doesn't use their own proprietary mail programs.
I tend to get stiff-necked and tell them i can't read their mail,
it's got some kind of "strange junk" in it,... can they please
configure their mailer to send plain text?!!!!
At work we use Lotus Notes for email. While I think there are a lot
of things wrong with using a kitchen-sink as a mailer, at least one
thing they got right was that when you send pretty formatted text
outside the company all that arrives at the other end is nice plain
80-column ASCII.
