Hmmm. Let me think. Yeah, you might be:-).

When given the option I'll ask for plain text mail.  It seems fewer
and fewer business offer this, even though it's really not any more
work.  I have Thunderbird set to view all messages as plain text.  So
all the HTML tags get stripped out and what I'm left with is usually a
list of links or something that indicates the message was a bunch of
images.  If I can't make out what message was about without clicking
on a bunch of crap it goes to /dev/null and I'll attempt to
unsubscribe.  Campmor's advertising degrades quite nicely and I can
read them just fine as plain text.  They seem to be the exception.

I'm not sure I understand the logic of this. Why go to all this trouble to avoid html? With today's speed and memory, it doesn't present any problem. Or am I missing something? Is it a PC thing or Linux thing?
