Tazmun,
HTML in e-mail doubles the size of an e-mail very often .
Just imagine how many people are subscribed to this list, and this is A big
one.
And one e-mail is copied just as many times , and all this extra data nobody
needs.
That what we call spoiled bandwith, no matter what kind of internet
connection someone has.
And this is only one mailinglist. Just imagine how many mailinglists are
active worldwide!
All those billions of e-mails generated with the extra HTML crap nobody needs!
Now _that's_ why everybody complains the www is so slow
And off course attachments, and reply's with fully quoted mails...
I've seen reply's that said only "I agree!" with 5 full former e-mails quoted
below! That's spoiled bandwith too, specially on big mailinglists.
I subribed on 2 other moderated mailinglists where you will be kicked off
when you 1- HTMLize, 2- Fully quote 3- send attachments.
These are nice clean lean mailinglists.
I blame Microsoft for slowing down www because they ship Outlook (Express)
with HTML switched on by default.
Anybody knows how many e-mails are written with Outlook every day with HTML
switched on?
That's my 2 cents,
Gerard
p.s. This is only the size aspect of HTMLized e-mails!
