There is a concern (fear?) (paranoia?) that the HTML plus tag-along
java etc may insert nasties into your system. At my place of
employment, we are prohibited from sending or receiving HTML. And the
mail server strips or disables any links within a message. Thus, if
there is a link to an image associated with a news story, for example,
the link is rendered ineffective so that the reader cannot simply
click to view.

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?
