You've given up *politely* asking? Meaning you are now asking impolitely? :) > Yeah, I've been trying to explain this to some folks around here > recently, but not having much success. You have my sympathy. Agreed. It is frustrating. But Derek, please don't give up! Even in the worst case scenario, we can slow the acceleration. I especially take the time to choose the battles where the email is from an automated system. I contact the support and send something like the following: Could you please modify your automatic emails to also send a plain-text version in addition to the HTML email? This is easy to do and most professional emails provide a plain text version (this is called multi-part MIME). If this doesn't make sense to you, please forward this request to your tech team. Thanks for your time! Best, Scott
