Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (1982 mails)

I think that a lot of fault if of the email clients that has as default
write HTML emails.

Many people sending email don't know what is HTML or send HTML emails, they
just write emails. So they don't bother to turn it off or on, if they can
drag&drop fancy stuff from their toolbar probably they will.

KMail warns you about writing HTML emails, it let you but warns you, and it
has turn off HTML email as default.

I don't know if M$ Outlook (express) has this feature off by default.
