What does this message demonstrate?
That information can be transmitted very successfully using e-mail

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.
I agree with you. I just add, that when mail was ONLY in pure text we
were obliged to create this kind of mail;
"You will find a sample letter to be sent to the customer in the
attached word document"
Because pure text mail CANNOT transfer a CORRECT letter to a customer.
The time where the customer letters are coming from

is an antediluvian time. but the geeks here saying that mail must be
only text mail are in that time.
