I hate the fact that so many people are using html e-mail. An excuse
that has been used for doing this is that it allows for more font
choices and more visible expression in the mail, but that's a little
like saying that an advertisement will be more effective if there are
lots of different type styles in the copy.
Sure, with html you can shout in a really bold font and you can use a
larger _size_, too. However, shouting doesn't improve the quality of
argument, as has been demonstrated time and again by such shows as "The
Capital Gang" and "Talk Back Live," to name a couple.
Unfortunately, newer e-mail clients make it all too easy by default to
send mail in html and even plain text is often marked as mime-encoded,
at least by Net-Tamer. The latter may be a Net-Tamer problem, but users
of Net-Tamer have to deal with that, too.
