I think some of the standards have gone way overboard.. some things just don't need scripting - LIKE PDFs. As soon as you make it programmable you make it a medium for malware. The real issue is the paper bag security model that Microsuck has.

And html allows you to send the gift that keeps on "giving":

I prefer using firefox to gopher, media mail to text mail, and audio AND video over just audio.
There is however a point when there's too much of a good thing. I have a very low tolerance to 'elf yourself' and other such media emails.

Is there a way to send an email message that is both text-only
and/or html? While I totally agree with keeping most email
text only, and I very rarely use html ... it is nice to send a
Christmas letter with embedded photos, and some nice holiday
graphics. So what would be the best way to do that and still
have a text-only version delivered to friends and family with
dial-up only connections for whom emails with lots of photos
might be a problem?
