For all those who support the idea of HTML in e-mail: With it the
possibility exists to incorporate things like Flash, MPEG other
multimedia crap (sorry) and even orders to open up external programs.
Isn't it funny that most people are happy with OE/IE/NN and are always
wondering why there are so many security holes?
And - to round out my Flash statement from before - why should we stop
at HTML? Why not DHTML, XML or even ActiveX for e-mail?
Can anybody tell me how humans survived so long without all this - on
normal paper with nothing else but a pen or pencil? Has anybody ever
thought why the basics of the Latin/Greek alphabet are so successful
all over the world while picture based "alphabet" are relatively few
and not widespread? Just look in a good linguistics book and the
possibilities of the symbolic representation (as in letter based
alphabets) become obvious.
One for the road, it is very easy to highlight words in plain text,
either by style (that is especially word order) or by symbols like *
or ".
