If you think that bold-faced, italicised, colourful nonsense looks really neat, I think you have nothing to say and procmail will handle that automagically (towards the bit bucket, for the ones still not yet with it). If you have anything to say, say it in plain text and language, but don't waste everyones' time and money. Sorry for sounding rude.

I'm using MS Outhouse98 (I'm stuck here at work:-() and it will handle html, but everytime an html message comes in my font gets thrown out of whack and it becomes difficult to read with sometimes only three of four words per line (lots of scrolling). Fortunately, it is simple enough to select all of the text and reset to my default font. I would imagine that html also consumes more bandwidth (not much, but it could add up) than plain text. That said, personally I prefer plain text (mainly because I have a friend who insists on using every silly feature when sending e-mail, her 20 point bold italic font drives me absolutely insane and...uh, sorry) Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: Bobby Geortgilakis [SMTP:bobbyg@ihug.co.nz] > Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2000 5:25 AM > To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com > Subject: [SLE] Plain text vs HTML text.... > > > Hi all, > I've had some feedback, that "many" (two actually so far....), on the > list are HTML challenged & would like to check this out on the list > proper. > So, is HTML a hassle to enalbe/read or are the plain text guys still > stuck in the 1950's, not that is is the year 2000 or anything like > that? ;-) > Greek Geek :-) > > Calligraphy rules! -- Greek Geek > -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For > additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also > check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
