Do you have any choice if I send you a letter by snail mail on my
company's letterhead? That's is exactly what some companies I
correspond with do with HTML e-mail. They have designed a "letterhead"
every employee if forced to use for business e-mail

It was just a way of trying to explain it to Mary. I should have
chosen a better example. What if TB editor only supported message
encoding in Latin-1 and not in Thai, Cyrillic, Greek and others?

Same with plain text. Not everybody uses a rich vocabulary, correct
grammar and punctuation, etc., etc.
