Your choice is costing me money. But I'm still lucky; the days of
paying extremely high prices per minute of internet online time at 33K
modem speed with unreliable connections are finally over, the internet
has become affordable in Thailand. Nevertheless, a mail in HTML is 2-3
times bigger than a plain text mail, and I have got 56K speed on my
modem only recently.
But my friend is in Mozambique, and if his internet connection wasn't
on company cost...
If you send messages only to countries in which broadband flatrates
are the norm, I don't care (except that HTML mails are ugly, and if
there is no formatting on your side, I really don't see any point at
all. And if you choose to highlight in pink with a yellow background,
I won't be able to reply before puking).
But only a minority of internet users has broadband anyway. so why do
you advocate HTML mails?
