But I never denied that! What I claim is that it requires HTML mail to transmit e-mail messages as today's users want to see them. And I am thankful that HTML made its way into mail, because if that wouldn't have happened then all marked-up mail would now be in Microsoft Rich Text or even Microsoft Word document format. After all, that is what Microsofts entry into the e-mail market produced by default until others pushed HTML just in time. I know that there exist a group that is definately against all mail formatting and especially against HTML in mail, and isist that text mail is good enough, but I think the majority of them are autists. >> It appears the accessability software industry focusses heavily on >> mainstream software and less on opensource products.

What you discuss is spam. Normal HTML e-mail is not in that format, it uses plain text with HTML markup tags. With some mailers there are more tags then useful text, but that is not something that bothers the end-user. Seamonkey was fine until a year ago, then the bad things started happening. This is not the fault of HTML mail, it is the fault of the developers. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
