Easy for you to say. Believe it or not, the whole world has not succumbed to the
Microsoft machine. Some people, a lot of people, run on Unix boxes, or other OS's and
use plain text mailers. And they are decent mailers, so don't go there.

Since this is an international mailing list, and not OS or mailer specific, we must
adhere to the least common denominator, and that is the use of plain text. You can save
the use of HTML for your girly man correspondence with your friends. I bet you like to
use the rose colored backgrounds, don't you?
