Except, perhaps, in *this* forum where it is against list policy. Reason enough.
"Irrational reason" is an oxymoron.
Ok, "explanation enough" should suffice. Haven't we all had enough trouble with browsers based on different flavors & standards? Can you imagine having to wrestle with that in our e-mail clients, too? Next thing ya know, we'll end up e-mailing pdf's around -- NOT! :-) Anyway, I didn't think the original e-mail was problematic. I didn't make the same mistake myself, apparently, because I just happen (out of habit) to prefer using text-based clients. Thanks for the heads-up, Patrick. - Carl
