Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Michael. Seriously, though, I opposed the use of HTML emails on this list for a long time -- simply because several participants had no HTML capability in their email software. However, over time, as people have upgraded or replaced their email software, that has changed.
Because HTML formatting occupies more space than plain text, I still favor plain-text formatting for messages that only contain plain text. However, it makes sense to make an occasional exception for messages containing special characters, exponents, graphics, etc. The really objectionable thing is the copying of entire web pages into messages to be sent to this list, rather than simply providing links to the pages' locations on the web. Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening anymore. (I'm trying to remember who it was who was doing a lot of that until he was asked to stop.)
