KSR> In fact, I predict that in a couple of years, we all be sending KSR> multimedia e-mails to everyone (voice, pictures, video, etc). Concur. This is inevitable. But why as HTML.. I prefer my multi-media as attachments, which I find easier to manage (save/copy/forward) than having to extract first from an HTML inline message. (this may be personal perference, but at least for now I have the choice) KSR> I believe it's arrogant for people to call "html" evil THIS is what woke me up.. Noone called HTML "evil", though it does tend to allow evil action upon your harddrive by vicious programmers. I tend to call it bloatware because it tend to excessively increase the size of a simple email. For those who disagree, put yourself in a country where the ISPs charge by the packet and see how much and HTML email costs versus a plain ASCII. KSR> I guess we all have to move on sometimes. Moving on is fine, but I prefer the _option_ to NOT to run HTML. Cheers Yall \\' -- leave html to the spammers so it is easier to delete ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
