Today we calculate in megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes.
People no longer treat mail as a novelty that can transfer messages
like a telex did in the past. They use it like a fax or letter.
That means mail includes mark-up, letterhead, vcard-like signatures, etc.
That means mail /can/ include markup, letter-heads, signatures, etc.
But it does not have to. As this message demonstrates.
I have no problem if you want to aleniate yourself from that world,
but it is the world that businesses and software operates in.
And how many of those business, and what fraction of that software,
addresses the vital issue of accessibility ? When I send an e-mail,
there is not a blind computer user on this planet who does not have
access to its contents, if it reaches him or her. 90+% of the HTML
e-mails I receive are completely inaccessible to blind people : no "alt"
attributes, no "longdesc"s, no accommodation whatsoever to those who do
not have sight. That world is not for me.

How many blind people are you sending email to, Philip?

drives a race car not called a racist?
