Re: [Trisquel-users] Why Security Experts Are Using an Ancient Email Format in 2015

[moxalt]

And apart from the security vulnerabilities that the other guy (whose mail
address is a long string of numbers and things which I shall not reproduce here
because I can't be bothered to log in the forum and check out this thread
myself to find out what his name is- oh, wait. Lembas.) pointed out, there's
the simple fact that HTML is an absolute waste of bytes. Every byte is
precious, and adding in pointless formatting and icing on the cake is a waste-
plain-text is clean, minimalist, and delicious. And it's a de facto universal
format- you can be sure that everyone, regardless of client, will be able to
read it. That's why I never send HTML mail.
