Well, if you *will* use web browsers as mail clients ...
Agreed. I have to set the one at work to accept html mail, as many of the dipsticks who are supposed to be running the place think it's good to send 15Kb messages to ask simple questions.
I won't do that for my primary mail program. Well, it *accepts*
html mail, but it displays it as text, complete with all the tags.
That means it's all but impossible to understand what is being said. As a result, those questions don't get answered.
Occasionally I fire up an alternative mail program (usually when there is an attachment I really want to extract, or somesuch). I then go back and review any outstanding malformed messages.
Pretty much the same for me, at home. At work, with the power mad (they think that "being in charge of" means "have power over" rather than "be responsible for") little masturbators in "management" positions, it is easier to leave it in HTML mode and not have to explain for the umpteenth time to their walnut-sized brains (which I suspect _are_ located in their nether regions) that they are abusing a system.
mike feeling better now but I might do that again for fun.....
