Oh, I absolutely agree with you 100%..... Except, when an e-mail client has HTML e-mail turned on by default, I can guarantee you 99% of the end users will abuse HTML e-mail. That's a guarantee!!! I should know, I manage the SMTP gateway and mail servers for nearly 5,000 people in a corporate environment which is based off Lotus Notes which has HTML e-mail enabled by default. The end users don't know any better. It drives me completely insane how many people send little one liners with big background pics, cutesy HTML fonts and colors. Things like going away parties, retirement parties, birthday parties, furniture up for grabs (they usually embed pics of this stuff) etc.. It just doesn't quit. -- Leif (TB list moderator and fellow end user).
