Maybe those folks should just go back to using carrier pidgeons. Alternatives could include changing to using an email client that would support THEIR need to block or convert HTML to text. Expecting the rest of the world to change to do what they want is just wrong and ain't gonna happen.

I'm sorry but you seem to be overtly derogatory to those who could and probably are doing it. Just because you don't see the value in something doesn't make it irrelevant. I know of a sever guy that I chat with off list who does everything VI, and hates GUIs. For the record I wasn't saying we should or should not convert to HTML or text. I was only responding to the point of people didn't see why some would have issues with HTML.

Sincerely,
Judd Pickell
