Hi Alexander,

I share your concern about gaining insight and input from users. I
also agree that plain text and HTML should be treated as separate
entities.

I also think formatted messages should be sent as attachments (PDF
preferred) if formatting is necessary. IMO eye candy for a simple
message is overkill. I work with people using a 300 baud modem with a
shortwave radio and cellphones with an effective connection of 7,500
bps and they sure do not appreciate a message 5-10 times the size
necessary to say the same words in plain text. That coupled with the
ability to hide a nastie in a single pixel of HTML just doesn't make
sense to me. I also feel zero motivation to reply to an HTML message
in HTML. I do see the need for a cleaner conversion of HTML messages
to plain text for replies.

BTW, I use top posting for of my replies outside of this forum. Many
folks appreciate it more than bottom posting.

Take Care,
