Re: Review of Power Mail

[Bill Lane]

More and more e-mail is in html format.  Hardcore PowerMail users say 
they don't want to be bothered with this mail, that most of it is spam 
anyway, but that's not true in my community.  When html mail arrives, 
PowerMail wants you to make a choice... open your web browser to read 
it, download the images, or read it as plain text (which sometimes turns 
out to be a blank screen).  Other mail programs assume you want to read 
it, unless it's spam.  What's more, the procedure for forwarding an html 
message is even more complicated than simply reading it, as others have 
been discussing on this list.  A few extra keystrokes for each and every 
bit of html mail adds up to a big waste of time for users who don't want 
to try to stem the tide of html mail by ignoring it.
