Hello Laura, On or about Friday, January 17, 2003 at 09:36:47GMT -0800 (which was 12:36 PM in the tropics where I live) Laura regaled us with:
L> resistance is futile, html is here to stay. Not in my inbox it isn't! All my important correspondents know and accept this. >>> I will soon be implementing a filter that sends to trash and >>> deletes any e-mail containing HTML - PERIOD! MAU>> I never write/send HTML e-mail, and I don't think I will in the MAU>> future. But if I implemented a filter like you intend L> to, I would MAU> probably loose abut 1/3 of my business e-mail. L> And belive me, I don't MAU> want to loose it. L> Ditto Miguel. there are certain advantages to it as well... L> including hilighting things that are important when sending out a L> report, and more. THINK about it. :) I do think about it, which is why I send important documents as word processor/spreadsheet format attachments. I use the proper tool for the job. If I have something HTML (a prototype web page, for example) I send it as an attachment as well. These items I make exceptions for, as I'm also a fledgling webmaster. The bottom line [AGAIN] is make these things O-P-T-I-O-N-A-L! I can ignore them at my pleasure. Otherwise, as I stated earlier we would just have a re-written MS Outhouse, and . . . why bother? Granted, perhaps it might just be a bit more elegantly coded and 'more secure' than the 'privy!' -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike "The only person getting his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe!!" -------------------------------------------------- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail \ / If it aint a webpage it shouldn't be HTML.
