The lowest common technical demoninator, perhaps. Allowing access to everyone is a good thing, especially for a corporation. If you want an exclusive club, starting your own is always on option.
Who is on METERED dial-up? I know about metered broadband, but metered DIALUP? I haven't seen that since about 1996 in the US - so nearly 10 years now. Are there still places that charge by the hour? Honestly asking.
There are people with metered phone service and they pay by the minute. So, even if their ISP isn't charging them by the hour, their TelCo is. Plus, I imagine there are people on this list using a curses interface to keep up with the List and they don't read HTML formatting as anything but noise in the channel. So, as a matter of courtesy, to the "lowest common demoninator" and out of a desire for clear communication, please don't use HTML formatted e-mail. While we're on the subject, the common usage of HTML e-mail is responsible for a quite a bit of our virus issues. Just on general principle, I don't use it for anything. -- __________ CorvusE: Linux User #370082 live free. die free. use free software.
