Why did you use "plain text" for composing mail ?
Because I am old school, and don't care for the fancy formattings
and stuff. Also, HTML adds file sizes to some slow Internet
contacts like those with still with dial-up modems.
Sending email as HTML will increase the byte size by 2 to 4 times
the number of bytes, especially if you send both HTML and Plain Text.
For everyone, not just dial-up users. :-)
Are there still dial-up users these days? That is SO 20th-century...
I told you that you will send your html mail in plain text,
You cannot send *HTML* mail in "plain text." The two formats are
apples and oranges.
so the size of your mail will be 2 characters less than your
plain-text mail (because there is no "<>" in your html mail sent in
pure plain text.
You have overlooked all the HTML formatting and codes that make up
the composition of an HTML email. These codes, fonts, colors, etc
will triple or quadruple the size of the document.
Twice nothing is still nothing, so is three or four times nothing. If a
2 KB message becomes an 8 KB message or even an 80 KB message, so what?
It's not like you're cutting down an extra forest to make the paper.
Thirty years ago, when a 20 MB HDD and a 4.77 MHz CPU was top of the
line, maybe it mattered. Today, That's a wristwatch.
