I find it a comforting safe haven of fast-loading text in a world where people seem to have gone mad with graphics, fonts, colors, attachments, etc. If I want to look at Web pages, I can follow links just by clicking on them in the email (I bless the day Netscape Messenger got smart enough to automatically make links out of anything starting with "http://" so I didn't have to cut and paste). Pretty much everybody gets free Web space now, so even if you don't have a ready-made page to link to, you can make one. Netscape (and, I assume, Internet Explorer) gives me the choice of whether to compose messges as text or as HTML -- I choose text, because I find it easier to deal with. Even when I write HTML, I do it as text, because I find that Netscape Composer puts in a bunch of unnecessary cruft. Rewriting addicts like me may want to see if they can find a PC version of one of my favorite Mac shareware utilities, Email Cleaner. Or get a Mac :-) . So stand fast, Kevin! Don't open the Pandora's Box of HTML! Keep it simple! Thus spake the programmer/tech writer/QA engineer. -- May you live long and prosper, Kennita -- Kennita Watson | Way Cool Internet Radio: http://www.live365.com | http://www.kennita.com | Great Minds Think Alive! -- Lee Corbin Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17160
