Here's one hoping that HTML based emails get done away with completely no winder people try to hide so many bugs in mail with this horrid HTML junk mail
HTML mail =wastebin.
Unfortunately, we're not living in the days of Pine anymore. HTML email is here to stay.
Keep in mind, most people don't give a rip about what format they're sending nor do they care about size or formatting or whatever.
Alienating the 99% of people who wish to send email - html or otherwise - is a bad choice.
I do sort of dislike html mail. I can say, however, that when sending tech e-mail to a Windows user, formatting a table in the e-mail is faster than making a doc/pdf or whatever. This is mainly because many e-mail programs do not respect line endings. Any formatted text is lost. Back when I was sending to elm users, fixed space fonts were the norm, and lines were kept as they were. Ah, for the good old days.
As I said, I tried to reject HTML emails for awhile at work and got shot down. Even trying to enforce a bottom posting format was futile.
People. They just insist on having ideas of their own.
There are bigger fights to be had than whether or not email should be html or plain text.
