First off, many of you long time PM users know that I am no fan of HTML mail. However that said, I have to state two things about this thread. First, it is like a religious war, there are no clear winners, only "facts" from both sides. In either case we've wasted a ton of bandwidth on this topic and the bottom line is, it is now getting old. Can we please drop it. And second, speaking of bandwidth. If we really want to fix the bandwidth problems, we have to fix the spammers. This is where 90+% of the wasted bandwidth comes from. SpamSieve is only part of the solution because it does nothing to stop them, it only helps unclutter your mailbox. Aggressive actions must be taken if we are to solve this problem. So far, only limited things have worked. However, this is were most of the bandwidth issues are taken place right now, not in HTML mail. Once Spam is dealt with, then we can talk about HTML wasting bandwidth. Until then, it's simply a blight.
