Agreed. So be it. > However, I can't agree with the sweeping statement that "HTML in > e-mail is spam". As the HTML newsletters I subscribe to are in fact > "solicited" and not commercial, they do not fit the standard > definition of spam as non-solicited commercial email. They do in my book. They could as easily send you a link. I don't buy HTML e-mail. Period. No compromises. > Nor are my uninformed/untrained family/friends sending me > unsolicited commercial email when they send me HTML emails. "Uninformed/untrained family/friends" are, or should be, trainable by a respected and experienced user. > However, if we want to play word games, I guess we could refer to > anything we feel like as "spam". Word games? Oh really? I was present at the creation of e-mail and HTML was against the rules then, just as it is now. I am unwavering on that point and although I respect your views and rights to express them, if you or any of my ""Uninformed/untrained family/friends" send me HTML it will bounce, and if they can't figure that out, they can either telephone me or send me a post card. Simple. Incredibly, wonderfully, simple. "Word games?" Puleeeeze! No more of this "HTML = good" stuff with my name on it, eh? -- Regards, Mike Using The Bat! v1.62q on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
