Why ever delete HTML based email? Do you go to websites in PLAIN TEXT?1. We do not all use a fancy GUI email app at all times.. Some of us use PINE.
What is the difference, it allows greater formatting, such as BOLD text and

2. Because I like to read consistent plain text, it is much easier on the eye, especially given the volume of email I have to read in a day.
3. It wastes space and bw.
4. It looks like shit
5. If you are away, or on the road for instance there is nothing like having to wait forever for a stupid text image to load from a server that is either not responding or too damn slow to give it up, just so I can look at "greater formatting" and BOLD text..
6. Email is a TEXT BASED MEDIUM
7. Email and a WebSite are two completely different animals.
8. Not all of us were born and bread on MS and or OE.
Well, what I have noticed is that those whose first ever experience with a puter was using MS software and things like OE, they have apparently grown used to HTML based email messages.. However those of us who used puters before MS, (and don't get me wrong) I use a GUI... Are probably used to text based messages..
I never understand why people put a fire to HTML email, it's just a strange
notion to me.
Overall, IMHO, Plain text is just more efficient given the nature of the medium involved.
