At this point I usually open up an application that's more suitable than an email client for creating documents that need some kind of formatting.
I agree with Linda it is time to reconsider some of this.
Any personal HTML email I receive, that for any reason passes my spam filters, gets filtered straight to /dev/null. The reason for this is simple. My mail client doesn't display HTML email by default, and quite sensible that policy is too. HTML email wastes my time, and since I get a lot of email, a lot of HTML email wastes a lot of my time. At work, our mail server has long since bounced any HTML messages or multipart messages, that is the one in ten thousand that is not spam ;) If you want me to view something formatted with HTML, publish it to the web and send me a link. There is nothing that you can send in an email, that you might want to format in some fancier way than plain text, that wouldn't be better published in another document format or on the web. And that i.m.o. is the crux of the matter with regard to HTML email. -- “Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.” ☘ Oscar Wilde -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
