Actually, I was fine this morning, no frustration at all. Until I
saw all your mails in HTML format. Not that I could not read them,
mutt is set to autoview HTML, after converting it to text. I just
wanted to give an advice to Bill and you guys, not to use HTML mail,
'cause you might miss the answer what you are waiting for. And I
think, I did it in a non-offensive way, and Bill was very
considerate for the advice.

You are right. Outlook is too crafty for you. I can
imagine, how hard to find and uncheck that checkbox in the
Tools/Options/Send menu which says:
"Reply to messages in the format in which they were sent"...
And if you have a specific reason to use HTML, you can easily
override it from the message editor "format" menu.
See, not too crafty at all...

This time your specific reason for HTML was that someone sent
a message to A LIST in HTML format, and you got a copy of that
message...
Well, if you reply in HTML to that person only who sends you an email in
HTML, that's none of my business. But unfortunately you sent this
email back to a list which is equivalent to starting a new thread in
HTML (everybody gets your reply on the list).

I do not. See what I said abot the list reply vs. personal reply.

I am not sure I understand your point. So although you DO compose
your mail in plain text normally, you imply that I am trying to
force a standard to you which you do not think is right?!
I think you contradict yourself here...Unless you are just a bit
frustrated for some reason...;-)
